Of course.

EXCUSE ME? When it comes to cell phones, "most people" are not like the people on these forums, meaning that they don't treat phones the way crack addicts feed their addictions with more crack. "most people" upgrade every two years or so when their account has an upgrade available.
Let me just say this--I am on board for this phone. I want THIS phone. If the rumored 48 hours of batter life is true. then i don't care if it doesn't have a removable battery or an sd card. But then again i haven't really ever cared about those things. Motorola can have my money.

My issue with non-removable battery is not battery life as much as the life of the battery. On my GS2, the battery crapped out after a year and the phone wouldn't stay on longer than 2 minutes without being plugged in. With a removable battery, I just had to go online and order a new one and a few days later I was back in business. Plus I spend a lot of time on the road in areas with less than desirable reception that chews through battery real quick so it's nice to be able to swap out a new battery and go about my day instead of leaving my phone plugged in all day in the hot truck. I know alot of people don't care about removable batteries, but that doesn't mean it isn't necessary for some of the rest of us.

Seems to me Motorola devices have historically shipped with stronger and more reliable call and data radios and better batteries than certain companies that are well known for "remuvible battereez and sd K4rdz". The former > the latter.
Nowadays it's hard NOT to buy a phone that isn't assembled in a crapconn plant, but I've always felt Moto uses higher quality parts in that assembly than Asian OEM's do.
I give you all day that a two day, even a day and a half, battery would make the removable a non issue, but I have yet to see that in a smart phone. I don't agree with the Moto having the best hardware statement. I will agree that everyone has their preference for manufacturer. So give me a solid 36 - 48 hour battery and I will never complain that it isn't removable.
I do some stuff for Verizon and they're talking 7-8 days from a 2500MAH battery once everything is VoLTE and the phone only powers one chip.

Earliest reports I have seen is a couple of years till a full launch. Then similar progression to lte after that I would imagine.

My dad has the max hd, and the longest his battery has ever lasted was ~ three days. So really the non removable battery issue, shouldn't really be an issue.
