Agree 100% but unfortunately it seems that lots of other manufacturers are emulating the same bullshit.

They took my removeable battery but they will never take my headphone jack! Oops, I mean freedom!

Even Samsung took away the headphone jack recently :(. I might as well buy a classic iPod for music listening now-a-days.

I have a separate mp3 player already, but I use the headphone jack to watch youtube videos on the phone.

I'm waiting a bit to upgrade my phone. I've always had a Samsung up until now, but I won't be buying one without a headphone jack. Hopefully they'll come to their senses. Bluetooth is a painful joke.
