Perhaps they left it off because they wanted good reviews of battery life and by the time they release Flash no one will notice the subtle increase in power consumption. <strong>Paul</strong>, that prediction was a long time coming! I think humans have been dreaming about this direction for devices since we could first imagine the possibility. It's crazy to experience the future and see how nice it is. <strong>Sebastian</strong>, I hope you are correct! Thanks for the props from Germany. :) <strong>Chris</strong>, I think you're right. It <em>is</em> popular to be negative about the iPhone. I hope Sebastian is right and that software updates are right around the corner and don't require new hardware, but I don't know for sure. <strong>Bervick</strong>, I do upgrade my phone every two years, and I imagine I'll do the same with the iPhone. That said, it's a good point that other people will not necessarily want to upgrade an expensive device so quickly. And, other users may be heavier users, which would make self replaceable battery desirable. I do hope they change this on gen 2. <strong>Aaron</strong>, I'm going to hunt for those clips now! :) I bet if they release a 3G phone it would be on both sides of the pond.

I've been watching with interest from this side of the Atlantic, and found some of the TV clips of overly hysterical fans buying their phones quite amusing. It does look like a damn sexy bit of kit though. Can't wait for it to be released in Europe although can tell you one thing - if the European iPhone doesn't have 3G, no-one will buy it. But will Apple short change their American customers and give Europe 3G so soon after it's American release? Not sure they will. Nice review Justin.

At $600, I'm not sure how many people would want to change their phone like that. Also, there could be heavy phone users who might wear the battery faster than you.
