A lot of the concerns you have are the same reasons I wanted my Android phones back in the day. I wanted without question
1). a physical keyboard to type on
2). a user replaceable battery because eventually the battery craps out and I want to change it
3). ability to add a SD storage card on my phone and expand the memory.
Funny enough, I'm still on an Android....but I have none of those options anymore. I got used to the larger screen and the lack of a physical keyboard, and most vendors no longer have user replaceable batteries nor SD card slots. The battery part still bums me out a little, but it's jus the way the industry went and so many people upgrade their phones so frequently they aren't blowing through batteries.
From the storage front, almost all my music comes from the cloud and is streamed, so I don't need storage for MP3's. And as an office 365 subscriber, I get 1TB of OneDrive space. I have my phone setup to sync pictures and videos to my OneDrive account in the cloud. This way if my phone is damaged, lost or stolen...I still have all my irreplaceable pictures and videos. And if my phone gets tight on space, I can remove the pictures and videos directly on the phone and still know that I have them in the cloud. And Microsoft does a better job with enterprise backup and uptime than most average joe's at home.
