Can I recommend www.mobilefun.co.uk. v good service, and good delivery too _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ibrahim Gucukoglu Sent: 09 July 2010 10:28 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Buying a battery for the N82 Hi Andy. There are plenty of sellers describing their batteries as genuine because that's what people look for and that is what they expect to see when buying. Sadly, plenty of faik, cloan or after market products with inferior sell specifications flood the market, so picking out a genuine battery can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. A genuine battery will range in price from 15 to 30 pounds, will have a Nokia hologram label on it and when this label is peeled back, will have a serial number you can use to check the authenticity of the battery with a Nokia care point or on the Nokia website. There are some genuinely good after market batteries aprooved by Nokia for spares and emergency use, however I'd air on the side of caution as many of these are hard to find amidst the minefield of cheaps and faiks. Finally, have you tried the Nokia online shop? I think they may still stock this battery and most batteries from their are £19 plus postage. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY <mailto:Andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, July 09, 2010 9:46 AM Subject: [access-uk] Buying a battery for the N82 Hi all - I need a new one, and understand the N82 takes the bp-6mt battery. Having looked on Amazon and Mobile Fun, I see a huge discrepancy in price; prices range between £4.87, and £30! I've tried reading reviews to see why this might be, wondering if some of the batteries are clones of the Nokia original. All the sellers seems to be describing their batteries as "genuine Nokia pb-6mt" so does that mean the manufacturer has to be Nokia? Where do others buy from, and in this case, is cheapest going to be the same as most expensive? Andy's confused--now that has to be a first <smile> - Andy
