Given the battery life of my current phone, I want a phone that a user can replace; it doesn't have to be quick, but I don't want to have to take it to someone to replace; any dumb user should be able to replace it.

I really only want to replace it after a coupe years to get original battery life performance.

Just to play devil's advocate:

Personally, If I wanted an external battery for my phone, I think I would say "give me a sec I'll call you right back" while I change the battery and startup vs "give me a sec while I connect my external battery" while you fiddle with getting the battery pack and cable.

But you need to carry around an External battery pack and cable vs a single form fitting battery. And what if you want to continue to use your phone after the call: walk around carrying a phone with an external battery and a cable vs a quick battery replacement and you are good for another couple of ours?

But in reality, I'm not going to carry around an external battery pack and chord or a replaceable battery (unless I become one of those people who wears a fanny pack).
