    Hey guys i just got this "ORIGINAL" battery off ebay but i feel like i got scammed.

    http://cgi.ebay.ca/New-Original-Batt...#ht_2311wt_911

    Battery graph says the battery is always at 100% and about 600mAh charge which is ******ed because my original battery actually changes power levels and goes up to 1250mAh.

    What can I do? It looks a bit different than the original but quite close. And when I peel back the sticker it doesnt says nothing on it unlike the original which says samsung...

    Help?

    I think the best way to get your money back would be
    a) Email the seller
    b) If no reply .. Report to paypal. and initiate a dispute

    btw.. I've had good experience with this battery http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32398

    I regularly get between 1100 - 1150mAh capacity with this Japod cell.

    but what doesnt make sense is that is an ORIGINAL battery
    it should work properly right?
    it was sealed in a nokia casing...

    you probably don't have original battery. you know Nokia isn't only instance in the world that can print its logo to some packaging?

    does it have the hologram?

    it does and it looks legit albeit more greenish and less yellowish
    man these fakes are getting better day by day
    so would be safe to buy the above battery? is that the real original battery?

    These guys sell the real thing at a fair price. I bought it and desktop charger, both were perfect!

    I'd skip every netshop if I'd wanted to get genuine battery and visit nearest cellphone store....
