I thought it looks familiar, saw the same on AliExpress but the guy had the wrong pictures so I don't know what to think about it. :)

A temporary short capacity of new battery will be resulted from not used for a long time, it is normal, the total capacity will be reinstated via used for 3-5 times.
Not the best way to give me piece of mind, my tests have shown the highest capacity from 1 to 3 cycle.

But at least they are not imposing that you should recharge it 10times like the 2250mAh battery

Well we will know in 7-30 days.

I don't know if it's been said already in this thread. But I use two batteries and one external charger (some cheap chinese product). Works very nicely, if I happen to run out of battery I just slam the other one in...goes rather quickly when using the stylus to flip off the back cover. Of course I have to remember to charge and keep the spare with me at all times (and I do!).

One thing I read somewhere here in a thread about battery draining too quickly, there was a couple of guys that suggested not to use dual network mode (both 3g/gsm). For me that seems to have really helped. The device will keep testing both networks and that really drains the battery.

If this battery does what it promises, i'm ordering four of them. :D

Yes but getting scud's instead of stock nokia battery will really help you go even longer until you have to change battery.

No need to go dual, i of course do like the fact that in these days of light usage (very busy with stuff) i recharge every third day only.
