Many phones will refuse to boot without a SIM, but an inactive SIM will be fine. So keeping a collection of old SIMs is a good idea. I can probably bring one to the next LUV meeting if you end up getting a phone that needs a SIM.
The Nokia E71 requires a SIM for WiFi .... it seems to enable extra parts when the SIM is installed, even if the SIM is otherwise dead (old and not network connected).
2) Do (m)any Android smartphones have removable and readily available/affordable after-market batteries? (I tend to hang on to things for a long time, and it's always the batteries that die [over time] on such devices for me. Manufacturer's replacement batteries tend to cost as much as an entire device.)
Good site and they DO have Nexus 4 options now.... There are actually a number of phones that don't have removable battery, the new HTC One, my older Xperia Sola .... all iPhones (but obviously they are not Android). That's just what I know, I would be that there would be plenty more without removable battery. Although some devices that do no have an easily removable battery do have options for replacement -- I replaced the battery on my TomTom Go930 device and had a better USB connector attached (after the original become defective).
