hello frnds..i wanted to buy a htc android phone and i found HTC ONE V qiute good..
but its battery is a big concern..it is in-built and is of 1500mAh..
what is the major disadvantage of it being in-built..?..is it very serious problem?..
and if battery life become very low after 1 year or so..then how will i be able to get a new battery..?
and is it a good phone?( i am getting it for 15500 rs locally)..

^its a good phone...battery is not much of a concern as now a days most phones have non-removable battery.

the only thing pissed me is that lack of magneto sensor in it...:hissyfit:

umm sorry..but i dont understand what is magneto sensor..
i ws asking about the problem that when it will hang ..then we have no such option to remove the battery and restart it..
and what do we do after 12-15 months when battery will start giving very less backup..we cannot buy a new battery in this case..

compass won't work without magnetometer.

usually in these mobiles the battery is not permanently soldered. instead the back cover is fixed into the battery and can only be replaced by mobile technician.

don't worry about the battery, there won't be any issues.
But its not a good phone to invest in, infact its the worst phone by htc, rather get Desire V, or buy Desire SV

@anky dude its your first phone and 12k is a lot of money at your stage in life... but dont go paranoid. take a deep breadth and list your needs first, then find the phones which are in your budget. If you dont find anything suitable then leave it for the best.

and apart from that... we ( tdf members ) are always happy to help... but you can also use google.. you know?

don't worry about the battery, there won't be any issues.

HTC One V is good phone only has problem with some games/apps...

when there was 256MB ram in phones people wanted 512MB Ram and there is 1GB RAM people are in need of 1GB RAM :-?
