| sixwheeledbeast^ | Does the new EU battery legislation make an N900 style device more relevant again? | 13:03 |
|---|---|---|
| sixwheeledbeast^ | It's certainly going to push prices up | 13:04 |
| KotCzarny | still, 3g obsolescence make it useless when it comes to mobile data | 13:34 |
| sixwheeledbeast^ | new devices | 13:44 |
| sixwheeledbeast^ | old devices don't matter | 13:45 |
| KotCzarny | you mean battery cost? | 13:45 |
| KotCzarny | imo making batteries non-user replaceable is a dick move from makers | 13:46 |
| KotCzarny | as they tend to die in a year or two | 13:46 |
| KotCzarny | and new battery is cheaper than buying new phone | 13:47 |
| KotCzarny | so unless one has to have newest and greatest every year, batteries would make them cheaper in the long run | 13:47 |
| sixwheeledbeast^ | they will need to redesign devices generally. They'll be thicker is there a chance of someone making something similar. | 13:50 |
| bencoh | they'll probably get a bit thicker yeah | 13:50 |
| bencoh | but with cases, phones aren't *that* thin anyway, so ... | 13:51 |
