Battery

It is in your best interest to accept the capacity of the original Nokia battery and learn to live with it (or wait until Nokia release a better one), rather than waste your money on others that won't give you the gains you hope for and will only end up costing you money.

It's probably a cheap import from the far east, selling at �5 or less on eBay.

There's certain technical limitations on how much capacity you can fit into a battery of a given physical size. I think Nokia have probably invested a lot of time and effort into getting as good performance as is economically possible for the given battery size.

I agree with others who recommend buying an original nokia replacement battery as a spare, if you really cannot get by with an overnight charge on 1 battery.

I would never use a non-nokia battery with my phone, you don't know how it's been made, I don't fancy my phone catching fire in my pocket!
