As long as they're not region locked, you should hopefully be able to import them if nothing else. I'd absolutely pay some extra import costs to be able to easily swap out my battery.
you're right :D i'd have to make sure all the cellular bands work but yeah, i'm with you, replacable batteries are awesome. would help reduce on ewaste, too!
Same. I'm perfectly happy with my current phone. Especially when the changes to knew phones tends to be less and less now, and its mostly just adding more power which I currently dont need. I plan to get the battery changed in probably another year to stretch out its use. But it's gonna cost me money to get it done. So with my next phone I might as well just pay to get it shipped instead of having to take it to someone.
