You're sure the battery absolutely can't be taken out? Because if I were to guess, I'd think it's a safety issue. They don't want to risk a phone coming on for whatever reason while shipping by plane. I've never known a phone that can't be de-batteried.

EDIT:...and thank you HTC for introducing me to the newest Stupidest Thing Ever, a phone that can't be opened up normally. So scratch that question about removing the battery.

Iphones have been around forever, there's always been a fervor about apple making things that you can't remove the battery from lol

Why is everyone so worried about a stupid cell phone. In your list of stuff to bring it says bring a phone card. BC is not a social club or Club Med it is a training facility to get you ready for your career.

It isn't? Those of us who have been through boot camp recently can definitely make a good argument against that statement.

No, you don't need to bring a cell phone. Mine broke when I got off the plane to Chicago and was able to borrow the guy's phone that was across from me. No one will really do a lot of yelling your first night there, in fact I was in a state of shock & asked multiple times to the recruits around me if this was easier than they expected.
