To be extended, must have more volume! But where it can be placed? The phone doesn�t have space for that!

Stock photo???

I already bought an extended 1900 mAh battery off ebay. infact i bought 2 (plus got 2 more free) they are all rubbish, and clearly not as long lasting as the regular battery.
so unless this battery is made by nokia then i would be suspicious.

maybe, but I think buying an extended battery from a reputable on line dealer such as mobilefun is slightly less of a gamble than buying off some shyster on ebay. I've stopped buying things like batteries and memory cards for "bargain" prices off ebay as you have no idea what you are getting anymore (fakes or extremely poor quality stuff)

Has anyone tried the mobilefun 1000 mAh version yet. At least that capacity is believable. 1900mAh - no way in the same size!

Standard N80 battery is 760 mAh, coorect?

This is 30% more juice, if the math is correct and the battery does it's job.

Me personally, I have *no* batt problems what so ever. But more juice is more juice... anyone care to buy one and test it?

Just read the reviews on mobilefun...says it all really...and as expected...dont touch with a barge pole...

Well, I've been using it about a month.
I've found it IS better.
Maybe that buyer is someone with a grudge against Mobile Fun.
And trust me, I have no reason to love them - they still owe me 5 quid (effed up order - their end).
I use my BT HS every day for eight hours - and with the old battery, could never make it through the day.
Since upgrading, I've not run out of charge once.
It used to be appalling and really annoyed me - but it's not a problem any more.
No, really.

Cool...would be good to get a few more reviews though...just to make an informed decision 😊..

You really need a side-by-side test running the same apps.
Best thing would be to run TomTom on two N80's - which'd flatten the batteries within a few hours.
Opinions are always a bit subjective - but I can honestly say that the power thing's no longer an annoyance.com.
