What cheap (preferably under 200$, definitely less than $350) midsize (4"-5") WP8 phone with really good screen would you recommend?

- Removable battery.
-Expandable memory (SD card slot).
- Ability to enable Mass Storage mode instead of MTP. I have to verify this with these two models, but this video seems to make this likely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84O8KlPxEyU
- Fast.
- And of course, tons of apps.
(Maybe even LibreOffice will one day be usable on Android.)

Yeah...
Word..
haha..
Me ...I've become a spoiled child on the N8x0's and n900...
If I can't use a device I can remove the batt. from...
If I can't put a sd/micro/mini card in for storage...
If I definitely can't use anything but stock device os...
If I definitely can't use a card for alt. os's ...even chrooting..
and if it doesn't have a resistive screen...
I'm not interested...
At All.
Hence I gotta have the neo900..
No option for me. I can't even consider it.
Every other device looks like ...and is as appetizing as cold- leftover-from-last-week... cooked liver, cow-tongue and head-cheese...eeeww
I'm most certainly a spoiled brat nothing less will do...been raised on the finest digital caviar and champagne

Guys, its possible to remove the battery. It just that you lacks the skill to do it. Sorry to break it to you 
Got you
Everything is possible, just like the n900 but what is needed here is more Skill or magic or more of both.
