Since I already have a Windows 8.1 work computer and a tablet, a Windows Phone really makes sense, but the only thing that holds me back is the lack of a replaceable battery flagship phone in Windows Phone.
As a university student, I cannot afford to get a new phone every year and I tend to hold on to a phone for around 3 years or more, and I know from experience that phone batteries start to show its age around the two year mark, not holding charges & not lasting through the day.
I just got a BlackBerry Q10, so I won't be getting another phone for another few years, but I would have gotten the 1020 if it had a replaceable battery. I am sure I am not the only one who wants easily replaceable batteries, and heavy corporate users would want that as well. I feel like Windows Phone loses quite a bit of sales because of the lack of replaceable batteries.
Yes, I do realize that out of the box, the recent Nokia Lumia batteries are quite competent and can last for the whole day, but I am just talking about after the battery wears 1-2 years later from the purchase.
