Ditto -- it's disappointing, as the easy replacement was a selling point. We even had the whole thread in which Robertb had someone on staff find a replacement battery online for like $10.
I credit Robertb with telling us subsequently that it wasn't so simple, but it sounds like it is significantly less open and easy. It's still a good thing if Astak sells us replacement batteries cheaply, but as you've said, not nearly as convenient as being able to buy one at your local store. And, of course, if they sell the batteries not-cheaply, then there's no advantage vs the competition at all on that point.
