I understand that you have to send the iphone only to an Apple service center for replacing the battery. That could be a huge problem if the iphone is going to act as a cell phone .
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks

you're right-this will be a problem. you will have to send it in for proper replacement of the battery, and the new batteries will be pricey. although there are some legal websites, and some more illegal ones, that sell battery replacement. unfortunately, doing it yourself will void the warranty, even though it may be significantly cheaper, not to mention you can't guarantee the legality or quality of the website or product. its your call, but personally, i would just send it in

The battery is of very good quality and does not go wrong normally. Its only to be replaced by authorized service center. Any one else trying to do would not enjoy warranty.

The Iphone does not carry a removable battery. Once the Battery is defective, you have to send in your Iphone to Apple.

Apple has already announced a battery replacement plan.... they will even 'rent' you a loner!

You'll have to send it in and they'll send it back to you!

same as iPod -- factory replacement only.
