Not tried one but for £3.99 and free post you wont lose much if its bobbins,Check sellers feedback out see if theres any reviews.

It doesn't even state battery capacity, so I wouldn't bother. It's probably sales writing to draw you in but is probably a standard or cheap Chinese rip off battery. I wouldn't bother unless you know the capacity is higher than the one you currently have.

dont buy fake batteries, like that.. thats a sh*t...

i found only one , extended battery. Maybe that good, but not so cheap: Mugen 1800mAh

Same here but one might be ok as a backup.

I bought a charger for the P500,just £8.75 post free from Hong Kong,took 5 days to arrive,you charge it then plug into the phone to charge the phone,available black or white,steer well clear of one on ebay claiming to be 2430mAh, I got a refund,its appears same size as the regular 1500mAh but doesn't fit stopping the back from sitting properly.

ahhh what the hell... I'll ordered one, I'll let you know in a week or 2 when it gets here how it performs (and it's actual capacity...)

EDIT: Maybe not... postage isn't free... ahahaha! :s (Also found someone else that has brought one, they are only 1600mAh (100mAh higher, but they degrade pretty fast apparently... as could be expected for the price tag.) -- And I found somewhere here in Australia that I can get a 1600mAh battery compatible with the GT540 with free postage nation wide. So it will only cost me half the price as the one from UK would do.

Added: These batteries are miss-labled they are only 1100mah.
