To me, it's not so much that it can take a second, charged battery, as it is that the batteries do eventually wear out and stop functioning completely. At that point the removable battery becomes a very nice feature.
Yeah, in theory it would, but then again, in 3 years time (which I believe the battery should survive because it hardly gets used and charged), will the batteries still be available? I haven't tried, but I think I'd have a hard time finding batteries for my old nokia.

And you can't just buy a spare battery on release now, because it will wear out even without being used (lithium).
