so, if it is an HTC One battery, you have to dump the whole phone in the bin ;)

I think their analysis is used by insurers - the more trouble a phone is to fix, the more you will pay to insure it against breakage, other things being equal...

Who buys multiple batteries just to put them into a drawer and forget about them? You seem to trying to describe a downside that does not exist.
My phone has a replaceable battery - I certainly...

Maybe Samsung ought to talk up the green benefits? It would be a point that many other makes could not compete on.

Interesting observation. If the repair is under warranty (i.e. the phone developed a fault, not that you dropped it), then your claim is against the supplier, it is their porblem, and they can not...

"pointless test, any snap will do" to "Sony should seriously improve":
I can't quite reconcile the beginning and the ending of your arguments.

most people spend most of their time on a smartphone NOT using it as a telephone. Why sacrifice the 80% utility for the sake of your insecurities over what you think other people might think you...

Odd - I understand what you are saying, but I see it as the polar opposite. I see the DPR perpendiular images as 'art' - they are a very specific, even iconic, minimalist house...

"...I find them infinitely more valuable than the loose and badly lit snapshots..."
Well, yes, if you put it like that. You can defend anything by comparing it to something even worse.
I have no...

I guess it has become an unquestioned house style. I say 'unquestioned' because, I assume, nobody at DPR ever asked themselves 'why?', beyond the circular "this is how we do it here".

For me, the...

"....but the next camera in this line should have vast improvements to autofocus, ergonomy, and an EVF should be added."

I have to admire your relentless forgiveness of those sins!

and the wonder is that nobody at Pentax Towers understood that problem!

"Looks are subjective and an objective user can look beyond to evaluate an item. The look of the camera is a secondary issue IMHO."
Except that in this case "the look" is the camera. It is defined...

How was this original thinking? It is just a pastiche of a traditional SLR design. It's like what a person would draw if they didn't know why an SLR was the shape it was and could not think of...

odd how HTC have called time on the megapixel race for camera sensors, and then gone full throttle down that same megapixel race on the screens.
