Hi you all

Here i just want to share some important information with you all that if you are using a cell phone battery for your black berry phone kindly check the batteries proper because in the market lots of duplicate blackBerry batteries are present . Always Purchase authentic and genuine BlackBerry Cell Phone Batteries.


Thanks

Almost 2 years ago, we bought 4 Blackberry Pearl 8100 phones from T-Mobile. Actually, we got them free with 2 year contracts. A couple of weeks ago, I received a letter from Ascurion, T-Mobile's Warranty company, telling me the battery given as a replacement with a replacement phone was counterfeit (as was the original). WELL...so are the other 3 from the other 3 phones!!! T-Mobile never sent a notice, and refuses to replace the other batteries. We have had many problems with the phones-these batteries overheating is possibly why!
Bad Business!

i buy the non-oem batteries from china. i have no problem with them. i have seem oem batteries explode. overheat. or just be bad brand new. i dont care who makes the battery, just that it works. but they want you to think the non-oem ones are bad so you pay alot for the ones from them. who wouldnt say just whatever to get sales? oh my! my battery is counterfeit, how terrible. better go buy another. i get mine for $.99 including shipping. yall pay whatever. i got spares.

More power to you if it is working for you. But it isn't advice I would endorse. Besides you don't have to pay full retail for OEM batteries, and it comes down to the risk you are taking and the expectation of reliability. I think of my blackberry like my car in this respect: When I get back to the airport at home at midnight, I want the battery to start my car. I'm not going to risk a cheap battery. It isn't worth it.
