Not sure if anyone is interested here, but recently the CRTC (Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications Commission) passed new rules in regards to Canadian mobile phone options. Long story short, companies here (Bell, Rogers, Telus etc) are to have maximum contracts of 24 months, previously it had been 36. This has resulted in phone prices being more expensive and same as plans

Iphone 5 is currently $249.99 on a 2 year contract where I work (Rogers) and plans start at $75 a month, which gives you Unlimited Canada Wide Calling, Unlimited Texting, Call Display, Voicemail and 250mb data.

Big shock for us canucks!

Quote: Saddened! "Batteries on phones are ridiculously poor. On a top level smartphone if you stream video or multi task like playing music and browsing the internet you'll be done within a couple of hours. Carrying three or four batteries around with you for a days travel is just a daft idea.

It seems like the Moore's law for processors is ahead of the curve of batteries. Give it another couple of years and you'll have phones that last an hour and no more. The rollout wireless chargers should be pushed if they cannot do anything with battery technology. If there was a wireless charging pad on every work desk, bus, train, plane, restaurant and coffee shop it might not matter so much.'"

I can assure you that carrying in a pocket very thin and light batteries with a user friendly phone,like my Samsung, is NOT a daft idea, since it has come to my aid on many an occasion.
Go with Apple and you deserve all you get.
I rotate three batteries and use a wall charger as well as the normal charger and I never run out of juice. Perhaps you should try it before dismissing it.

Graphene is a possible way forward for high capacity batteries they say.
Don't know when though.

I'll still carry a spare even then.

No more daft than rolling out expensive wireless chargers because you want to save a little space in your bag or going half the day with no phone.

Pah, I'm not convinced. With all the messing about removing batteries (Not that you can do it in most phones anyway) you'd break the battery compartment/case with a few weeks. They aren't designed for that.

Get a Samsung and then come back and post that drivel.
I've a good mind to put the process on YouTube for changing the battery on a Samsung Galaxy.
It would be one of the shortest videos ever posted.
But you believe what you want and carry on struggling.
Edit:
There are plenty on YouTube already, as I have just found out.

Well I got a Nexus 5 for Christmas and it is brilliant in my opinion. The fact it has a fixed battery is a none-issue for my use of the phone which has increased over my last phone as the 5 encourages you to use it more.

Now I don't spend my time constantly watching Netflix or BBC iPlayer on it, or spend hours catapulting birds at pigs but I am a heavy email user and use Facebook messenger a lot to communicate with my son at Uni.

I get well over a full day out of it using it like this.

When at work if the battery is low I just plug it into the usb port of the laptop to charge. At home I bought a 3rd party NFC charger for £15 and just plonk it on that.

Changing a battery would be more inconvenient for me than doing what I do.
