(4) Last but not least the Nevo is disposable, the battery is not replaceable. Once the battery wears out - throw it out. So here is the quote... Is that true? [Link: remotecentral.com]

Technically...... yes.
There is no easy way for the user to replace the battery and the
majority of installers are not interested in taking remotes apart and messing around inside.
Plus the Nevo tecs say that they don't have a viable process for people
to send in the units, have batteries replaced, and send them back out under warranty.
Practically..... maybe not.
First, I see Nevo coming up with a plan for battery replacement in the near future, the unit has only been on the market 8 months and has already
gone through changes and updates. Battery replacement is not a crucial issue
when dealing with a Lithium battery that has a fairly good life span.
There are other priorities, (Compatibility with more UPnP devices, and with
IP related automation technolgies).
By the time the battery in Nevo finally gives up the ghost, we
will probably all be using "NevoSL V". The question then will be, "What
happens to 'refurbrished' NevoSL units? Sold and resold on
EBay?
Also keep in mind that the post that you refered us to was obviously written by someone from RTI and, at best, understated the importance of using a network device over the standard RF for distributing IR.
If using the network is so beneath them, why are they coming out with
a network remote in the Summer of 06?

Also, the poster indicated that the Nevo was useless without its ethernet hub (NevoLink??). That, too is a mistruth. Whether this guy is simply misinformed or making up crap to sell a T3...I don't know.

Well, from my opinion all of this talk about battery replacement is nothing but horse-puckey! Nevo is so-behind this remote, they will clearly have a program to manage this aspect, when it is needed. I say this because we are very tight with UEI and their attitude regarding this remote is to do what is necessary to make it great! Dave

Plus, didn't Nevo tell its UK distributor that they units could be sent back to the states for battery exchange?
