I was desperate enough to buy an apparently genuine Nokia battery from a dealer in Liverpool Street Station. Worked for about half an hour, then completely broke. But I only paid £10 for it, so I should have known. I didn't really care. I needed to make some calls and a video, and it let me do that. I hadn't heard the rumour about defective batteries slipping back into the market, but that makes sense. It was identical to the battery I got with my phone (which was fine, of course), including the hologram. Rupert

Nokia bateries are not that cheap, so when some appear for sale at amazing prices, some people tend to think they are either fakes or defective ones, and they could be right. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "johnleeke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Have you had any battery problems?
