HTC Surround Repairability Score: 5 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

Relatively easy to remove the rear case to replace the battery.

Slider mechanism provides added complexity for the sole purpose of arguable audio performance gains - but makes display removal that much more difficult.

Unable to access the internal MicroSDHC card without voiding the warranty.

It is very difficult to access the front panel and LCD for replacement.
