So, i would like to ask, what happens after a year if the battery dies?

Since the warranty is over and the battery is build in, therefore you cant buy a new replacement.? What happens?

Has anyone had this phone for over a year? if so how the battery -

Thank You Very much

Since it wasn't launched in the UK until 6th of June 2012 (I believe) come back next year and ask the same question.

I understand the theory but I've never bought a new battery for any phone so have trouble seeing it as a real issue.

Haha, but what would happen? What do you think?  lets say, for example in 6 months time, the battery dies out? what would you do? since you cant buy a new placement since it fixed

If it was needed (in my opinion probably extremely unlikely) then I would buy something like this http://www.m-99.co.u..._batteries.html

This looks like the teardown on the Xolo branded phone, and you can clearly see the battery and where it plugs into the main board:

Good luck find one though!

That teardown was really interesting. Very odd that they used a WiFi/Bluetooth chip that also provides GPS and FM but chose to disable these functions and install an additional GPS chip 0.o

The entire site appears to be (temporarily?) dead.
