Hi Jonathan, I know one of your compeditors had a user replaceable battery and then changed but don't know why. What sort of risks would be associated with a user replaceable battery? Laptops all have them. I know laptops are a lot larger, of course. Its the risk aspect of your response that I'm specifically addressing here. As for added bulk, since I haven't seen the battery for the Note family, nor the battery that comes with the compeditive product which does still use user replaceable ones, I clearly can't comment on the additional bulk caused by the later. But as somebody else just posted, 500 dollars to replace a battery is an awfully high price to pay, assuming that's an accurate quote, of course. A little extra bulk would probably be worth it if one could avoid an outlay of several hundred dollars for what would otherwise be a routine task. I really don't want to start a war on this topic. I'm impressed with the features of the new M-Power series. But if you feel you could give any more specifics regarding the matter of the battery, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Mary
