Except for one item. They've heard of iOS5, want it bad and have no idea what this silly named 'gingerbread' thing is.
For my part, some of their plusses are actually detractors.
Removable battery? Every phone I've had was rickety and ended up with a broken battery cover (I wouldn't consider myself hard on electronics) and a bunch of lint and dust inside the phone. 4+ inch screen? Seems big and it's lower resolution, I prefer higher DPI in a smaller screen that can fit in my pocket without making a big flat bulge. And lastly 4G = battery drain. 3G where I live has great performance and I often use the personal wi-fi hotspot and for regular browsing and email and stuff I have only good things to say.

Also, if you need extra power during the day, an extra battery seems like it would be pretty annoying, because you have to power off the phone to replace it. I'd rather have an external battery pack to recharge the battery, so I can keep using the phone.
- thenduks 15y agoGreat point. Also imagine the space you save by not having a user serviceable battery compartment. No latches and contacts in a little plastic housing and walls to separate the battery from the rest of the device. You can make it any shape you want and fill the entire device. I don't think giving away those benefits are really very worthwhile in any device I own. That includes everything from my toothbrush to my laptop.
