Anonymous, 01 Apr 2014why is it a joke?Dunno. Perhaps having a 14month old HOX+ and the stupid imbedded battery dying on you and you paying 50€ to replace it "under warranty".
I have never seen any warranties on batteries that last 2 years, it's always max 6 months.

This year, now that a lot more people are paying attention to HTC, HTC should see much better sales. Android people can now choose between Premium or Mediocre. (HTC or Samsung)

I honestly don't think they're capable of delivering.

AnonD-108806, 31 Mar 2014This is a lie, I had some non-removable battery for longer ... moreYour anecdote is hardly proof that all batteries last forever. Some batteries last and some don't, depending on build quality, luck and usage.
If I blew $720 (or the actual $1000 price in my country for the HTC M8) on a phone I would want a useful life of more than two years, even if it wouldn't be my main device for that long. The biggest problem isn't that the battery is "non-removable" but that the phone is "non-servicable" (if it's like the first HTC One).
According to ifixit: "It's very difficult—although no longer impossible—to open the device without damaging the rear case. This makes every component extremely difficult to replace."

Not buying these no user-removable battery phones. After 6-8 months of heavy usage, battery will start to fade and yyou have no option but to pay more to get them replaced whereas with batteries that are readily changeable, you can have them for as long as you can/want to

It will be a nice addition for encouraging sales as it will give HTC plenty of room to create a perfect devic cause m8 lags behind in camera department other wise its almost perfect mobile experience inside n outside
