                      Ahem, it seems pretty straight forward to me,

                      http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone/iPhone-3G/Battery/137/5/Page-1

                      Fifty bucks, seems pretty reasonable, not that I've EVER replaced a battery on any of the phone's I've owned over the last 15 years.

                      Then there are the multitude of battery packs designed to extend battery life, on a day to day basis.

                        I don't understand why palm choose to come out with this ugly looking device with physical keyboard. They have such a nice & powerful new OS and if they wanna compete with Iphone, they should have come out with full touch-screen (at least 3.8" screen similar to HTC touch HD), which is bigger than Iphone.
                        I saw video on this phone. UI is fantastic but the device...oh my god...its really ugly & out of date. Come on!!! it's 21st century..no need physical key board.
                        Thanks for bringing new OS but again disappointed me coz I am sick & tired of this IPhone. I really want someone really kill & put Iphone in rest in peace.

                                      Anonymous, 10 Jan 2009Just curious to know, why is there soooo much hate aimed to... moreI believe it is because some people don't like Apple's aggressive marketing strategy and some irritating shortcomings on the iPhone - copy and paste, crippled bluetooth, nonreplaceable battery.
                                      And part of the problem are some really arrogant Apple users who make unargumented posts full of hatred towards people who don't like Apple's products.
                                      Personally, I don't like the iPhone, because aforementioned things and because I prefer how things in the old Palm OS were done. And I also don't like the fact that the iPhone platform is so tightly closed also
                                      But now with the Pre, it seems that I will have to adapt to more iPhone-ish way of doing things. ;)
                                      I think that the Pre is an excellent device and I can't wait to see one in action! :)
                                      And will it be better than the iPhone? Well, we'll see. For some people (me included) it surely will. But for some other it won't and I respect that. :)

'i have an ipod, i want an iphone' says the ignorant consumer, too dumb to notice that all its features have been around forever, Apple simply convinced dumb americans that it was revolutionary and yanks are suckers for consumer fads.
