No manufacturer I know, makes a phone with a non-removeable battery, with a backplate that is easy to remove. That negates one of the benefits of non-removable battery - you make the phone in less pieces/tigther put together.
If you need to replace the battery, a professiona will have the tools to pry open the back - there's no need to make the plate "removeable". But the backplate on the K1 actually comes off when you don't intend for it loll
The consumer is not supposed to replace the battery on their own - even if so, by the time you need to replace it the phone will be so old most people move onto the newer phone.
You don't replace non-removable batteries because if you don't know how to do it, this is what happens. Lucky it didn't explode!

Hey man, not being sarcastic, but I'm honestly curious, tried asking before but didn't get an answer. What does the second L stand for when you type "loll" ? Really, just curiosity. :-P
And also, the phones coming apart when dropped (not the screen of course) is actually a good thing. It dissipates the energy absorbed in the fall. Phones with a completely one-piece design will actually be more likely to shatter the screen when dropped since there's nowhere for the energy to go than the screen. That's why old phones with the removable backs and batteries tend to survive falls better. When those fell and the backplate and battery flew out of the phone, those pieces actually took some of the energy from the impact away from the phone itself.
Too bad now we don't have removable batteries anymore... :-(
