I looked at this phone at a local store. $40.   
      
   Same phone on Ebay $20.   
      
   In another thread on here I recently posted I was just looking for a   
   smartphone to use at Wifi spots. For phone service my flip phone with   
   free service is fine. I was gonna buy a used smartphone from a neighbor   
   kid, but he sold them.   
      
   So, I am probably gonna go the ebay route.   
      
   The phone is:   
   ZTE ZFive 2 LTE   
      
   5" screen, which is a little bigger than others. I considered a tablet   
   for larger screen, but I want a pocket phone at the moment, not   
   something I have to lug around.   
      
   This phone has cameras, WIFI capable, 8gb internal, and I can use micro   
   SD cards for storage. Anderoid (marahmallow).   
      
   I dont know a lot about these phones, but for what I want and for $20   
   this seems like it will work.   
      
   But one thing that I dont like. It says NON-Removable battery. Does that   
   mean when the battery dies, the whole phone has to be replaced? (That is   
   not a selling point for me). -OR- can they still be removed without   
   ripping the whole phone apart? (yea, i can solder a few wires if needed)   
      
   I've replaced the battery in my flip phones several times, and I even   
   carried a spare at one time, in case it died at a bad time. (Now I carry   
   one of them battery packs).   
      
   Why would they even make a phone with a non-removable battery?   
      
   Comments regarding this, please....   
   Thanks in advance.
