I'd like to see them all drop the innovation called thin.
It packs things closer together so that shock is inevitably transferred to the screen, and they could add just a little size away from thin in favor of a larger battery.
Extended or replaceable batteries, meh. Most people roll with what comes with the phone. And if doing a replaceable battery, do it right. No cover to pop off. Never used to on a lot of phones like the StarTac or the Ocean, replaceable battery also meant easy to swap.
Doesn't have to be a brick, just not all designer thin. My brother feels about his SGS3 as I do about my LTEvo - immediate reaction was the things were so thin and light we thought a breeze would make them fly out of our hands, plus obviously fragile. Boom, two cases ordered right off the bat. My wife got hers, same thing, "Honey, not carrying this until you get me a case."
Yeah, the Maxx is thin. Say it with me - huge bezel.
For the record, I like plastic, even with a fancy name to match the species of a thermoplastic polymer like polycarbonate.
Maybe it's just some of us, but that's how I feel about it.
I'll take superb battery life over a paper thin phone any day of the week...
However I'm always near power, so charging isn't an issue for me.
Got a Car Charger, a House Charger, and a Charger in my office...I've never swapped a battery out with any of my phones that had a removable batter anyway.
