How do you connect your 10000mAh external battery to your device?
Most use a standard charging port.

Yes, for the people that are on T-Mobile, or the tiny, mostly regional companies that still have unlimited data.
Since carriers have only started getting rid of unlimited data plans after the GNex came out, I would personally think Google would realize that people would have significantly less monthly data allowances now, and create phones with that fact in mind. But I guess they don't care.
Completely agree with you here, but we need to be realistic too - 16GB of movies and music will take you through a lot of flights!
All the reviews have been -- I presume -- early or pre-production models. When reviews start coming out of production, sold units (e.g. long term test drive reviews), then I'll believe their battery complaints.
Doesn't rly seem odd to me to use a music streaming device as a music streamer and a phone as a phone. That said, you have plenty of options. You can either get T-Mo unlimited plan, deal with a 2000 ish music library, or get one of the many Android phones that have an SD card slot.
Thats not the point. If all phones were created equally, we could just get a phone that offers microSD. However not all phones are like the nexus which is why we can't just get another android phone.
I change phones frequently.
I lose all pictures when the phone has no expandable memory.
I dont use cloud storage, nor do I have any interest in using it.
The non removable battery means you are buying a new device if it gets wet.
So you're incapable of copying photos to your computer, then copying them to the new device?
Also, you should really use Dropbox (or Google+, or Amazon) instant upload. It'll upload all of your photos when you're on Wifi. If you care that much about photos, you should know better than to trust just one storage medium as a backup.
If your phone gets wet, you're pretty SOL either way. I think it's pretty short-sighted to expect Google to engineer a phone with a removable battery just to increase the chances of recovering a device when its dropped in water. This is quite obviously something that isn't a regular use-case... Create a phone with a removable battery so you can get it wet? Doesn't make sense.

Sure, if I wanted to go with a carrier that has sub-par coverage. I know people that use T-Mobile, and none of them even try to lie about the crappy coverage as compared to Verizon.Vote with your dollars, switch to a carrier that offers unlimited data if it means that much to you.
Enough people do and the big boys will have to react - I'm convinced that's Google's play here.
1) Ok yes I could spend time transferring stuff, the point is I shouldnt have to do that, its not that hard to include an external storage slot.
2) As I already posted, I dont use Dropbox etc nor should I have to, its not that hard to include an external storage slot.
3) I have gotten several phones wet. Pull the battery immediately and put all of it in uncooked rice for a few days and they work fine.
What doesnt make sense is why Google has chosen to make the battery non removable and not include an expandable memory slot, thats what doesnt make sense.
