Sieghard, Does the K780 have user replaceable batteries, or is it a built-in rechargeable?
I have a couple clients for whom this might be the perfect fit. Is there a carrying case? The k480 has a carrying case by Hermit Shell that is quite nice, so I wondered if you knew if they made one for this. I can obviously research that if you don't know. Thanks, Richard .

It'll probably benefit us all if you have that info. thanks in advance for any help!
