The moment of truth is now upon us—is the battery any easier to take out than the previous, horribly glued-in disaster?

We're holding our breath as we gently test the waters with a plastic card...

...And half an hour and several skinned knuckles later, we exhale that breath in a great sigh of disappointment. The battery has the same excessive adhesive, and is just as nearly-impossible to safely remove as before.

So much for evolution of design.
