All of my phones, have replaceable batteries, my Note 2 is 5 years old and still going strong, I've replaced the battery about 3 times.
My phone also has a user replaceable battery. You've got to wonder why if some phones have it, they all don't. Obviously it's not an insurmountable manufacturing obstacle.
