You aren't going to use your phone for 10 hours

The worst thing HTC ever hid beneath the battery cover was the reset button for my Windows Mobile powered Touch Diamond. Sure I loaded a reset program onto the thing but whenever it locked up I was stuck having to remove the cover.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 2:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/

Yeah dude that's what you get for having a Windows Mobile phone...should have bought an iPhone.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/
Actually, I've been quite happy with my Windows Mobile phones for the most part. If I had to make a purchasing decision today I'll go with a Windows Mobile device all over again because it provides me with the apps I actually need and the specs I desire. The HTC Touch Pro2 is looking real nice these days.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/

More firms should pay attention to their phone casings. The Pre is plasticy, the iPhone lacks a removable battery, Nokias wander from amazing (E72) to mediocre (N97, 5800) and Motorolas seem tough enough, but the Legend is clearly ahead with unibody aluminum.]]>Feb 22nd 2010 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/Feb 22nd 2010 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/I don't see why more cellphones don't adopt this format! ]]>Feb 22nd 2010 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/
My camera uses two AAs. And I refuse to buy any that don't. I have four sets of rechargeable AAs, and _nothing_ is worth losing the ability to swap out batteries like that.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/You can swap out batteries like that with proprietary lithium batteries, you just have to buy a spare one. It has the advantage of much skinnier cameras (and I like my compact to fit nicely in my pocket which ti does because it doesn't run on enormous AAs) and better battery life and flash charge rates than AAs anyway.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/Feb 22nd 2010 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/

Came here for this comment. I loved my k850i and this particular design element was an excellent idea. I actually wrote a far more detailed comment about it earlier but Engadget's comment system still f*cks up occasionally and it never saw the light of day.

Chris Ziegler, or JT, or anyone else: why, occasionally, does the comments system just completely fail to work and tell me that an email has been sent to me to confirm my comment when there's no need to. I'm sure I'm not the only person this occasionally happens to...]]>Feb 23rd 2010 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/htc-legends-battery-compartment-ready-to-blow-minds/Yeah, that happened to me yesterday. My comment never showed up and I didn't try it again for fear of the dreaded double-post faux pas, so all my wittiness was lost in the cracks of the internet, like tears in rain.

My only consolation is that in my heart I know it would have been up-voted.
