My 1st cell phone had a replaceable battery, and my 2nd doesn't. I only replaced the battery in the 1st one once. The speaker in it started to go bad sometime after that. I think we're just so used to being able to take a battery out and slap a new one in on so many things that we think everything aught to have that capability. Part of it is our throwaway society and part of it is probably planned obsolescence as well. By time we get a new device it's likely already obsolete.
