I didn't believe that it was glued in, so I did some googling:
Quote:
Battery is Lithium Polymer 890mAh. Don’t even think about replacing it. It is glued in tight and has only soft case around it so if you try to pry it off you risk ripping the cover and setting lithium on fire as it reacts with the oxygen in the air. It also has a custom connector to the motherboard.

Yep, no point in trying to replace this battery.
Interestingly, the battery in the Touch version
is replaceable.
