Hi,
Going on hollidays in a few days, i was thinking of buying an extra battery for my E61. The genuine Nokia battery costs £30 but i've found that some shops sold generic battery for a third of the price (here for example: http://www.eurobatteries.com/sitepages/description1.asp?id=2194&cat=Mobile%20Phone).
Has anybody experience with generic batteries? Are they worth buying or is it better to stick with genuine ones? At £10 it means that i could buy 3 of them for the price of one genuine battery so even if they have less autonomy, it might still be worth it, i wonder.
UPDATE: nevermind. I just saw that the generic battery has a 650 mAh capacity as oposed to 1500 for a Nokia battery. So they're 3 times cheaper but have almost 3 times less capacity. Makes sense. Not worth it then.
