The non-removable battery IS a problem for many mobile professionals who are NOT always near a plug, folks. If you sit next to a plug all day long, or hardly use your phone during business hours, the locked battery is not an issue. However, don't discount the criticism of others who actually DO see a major fault in the design. I wouldn't buy an iPhone either because of the same issue.

And, honestly, it's not hard to include a fricking SD card slot.

HTC is just making phones for kids now-a-days. My Rez is still my last HTC until HTC starts making phones for grown ups again.

SDcard slots have other issues.

I wasn't discounting that criticism at all. It's apparent that the entire point of the thread went over your head. HTC is not down in the dumps because of lack of an SD card slot or other petty differences. It's because of their subpar marketing.

And the beautiful thing about Android is, you have the choice to get a phone with a removable battery and an SD slot if you so choose. Leave the HTC One to us kids.

My post wasn't directed at you.

And, gladly.

Assuming you mean people who are constantly traveling for their profession, as a "mobile professional" myself I have a constant stream of power. For my phone and my laptop. In my car, in my rental car, at the airport, in my hotel room, at a client's facility if need be (though I prefer not to power up there if I can avoid it. It makes me appear unprepared). In the days of the dumb phone, candy bar and flip, I could get 2 or 3 days on a charge. Which was fine. Unless I was roaming. Or analog roaming. And roaming happened half of the time, because 3G wasn't deployed that much and networks were still being built up. So I needed constant power then, and I need it now. I'm not discounting your statement or your concerns, either. I'm just presenting the view from my perspective.

If, by "mobile professional" you mean someone who is in the mobile telecommunications business, then there is no conceivable reason why you wouldn't have power near you always. Every frickin' second of the day. That would actually be part of your job description, I imagine.

As for me and my EVO (that would be that sweet looking kid-phone with the red kickstand), I'll continue to run my business from it every day. I am a mobile professional of the first type, and wouldn't use anything else. I was leery of the internal battery when I got it last year, but have been extremely pleased with the way it's performed. My biggest concern about the One is the lack of a microSD slot. I know I can get 32 or 64GB, but I can't pop those GBs out of the phone in a couple of seconds if I need to. I like the portability removable storage gives me.

Are these the same fortune tellers that whined and complained about LG making the next Nexus? How they suck, no one will buy, only 16 gb's, no sd card, build quality, updates, and they kept saying they wouldn't never buy LG, only to go order one and whine when couldn't get one.
