But it's only been a month or so since the iPhone came out. Are people needing to replace the batteries already? Why all the furor? Is it the price of the phone or the price of the battery replacement that makes this a big deal? All those millions of iPods out there never came with a removable battery and there was never such a big stink about it. I can understand when the batteries start to fail, but this is a bit premature.
Don't heart pacemakers/defibrillators have to be removed to replace the battery? Surely that's expensive and riskier than a cellphone running down. It gives off a signal to let you know in advance, but still people are taking surgical risks to get a replacement. Do they have class action suits for those defibrillators, also.

If the iPhone behaves like an average pacemaker and runs for eight years without changing the battery, then I think there will be no class action suits.

I thought the iPhone was rechargeable...
If my battery died, i would sent it to Apple to replace the battery.
If I had an iPhone, i would frolick through the cockroach infested streets with joy.

Lenovo will not gurantee us that we have cells that are not defective. In fact they have confirmed that our Lenovo battery packs have the same battery cells that are know to be contaminated. I am very upset that Lenovo is not doing a similar recall of the known contaminated cells!
