Am I the only one with these dealbreakers anymore?

For me, a phone must have a removable battery, and and SD card slot. I went Sidekick LX to OG Droid to Thunderbolt to Sensation and now to GS3.

It was the reason I didn't get a One X or a Nexus 4. I feel like nobody cares much about these things anymore. I'm in India where there's no LTE, and all the popular streaming services like Spotify and Pandora etc. aren't available here, so I carry all my music locally. All 35 GB of it.

I also have a 4400mah extended battery so you know... I couldn't do that on something else. I know there are options for storage like the One X+, but that again doesn't have a removable battery.

So do any of you feel the same way? Maybe for different reasons, but is anyone making phone decisions based on these two factors?
