A less-commonly mentioned benefit: you can remove it to be more confident that your phone is really powered off.

  Wondered if somebody would mention that. I agree completely. It's the only really universally legitimate reason to need a removable battery. Everything else is personal preference imho (not saying it makes "your" preference illegitimate, just that there's an equally valid solution "you" chose to not follow). * your/you above wasn't referring to any specific person

    > It's the only really universally legitimate reason to need a removable battery. So if it dies, one should just shut up and buy a new phone?!

      Or you know, just replace the battery! Just because you can't swap it on a moments notice doesn't make the phone junk.
