Read above. These are not aftermarket batteries. These are Samsung batteries, exactly like the ones that came with our phones.

Inexpensive batteries may be genuine, read these two article and decide. I don't know about you, but when my phone is in my pocket, it's pretty close to some valuable assets! I would not want a fire down there!!

Sneak preview the all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different. Just radically better.

Wow...thats crazy...I wonder how that person got your e-mail? Well, for anyone who does order from this company, all e-mails that I recieved from them came from this address: custserv@gsmcellular.com.

FYI, I got confirmation my order was mailed: 2 1/2 days after the auction was complete. It is reportedly being sent USPS First Class Mail, so it shouldn't take more than a few days. I'll let you know how it goes!

Just to follow up.
I received my cheap battery today. Took three weeks.
It is identical to the original in all respects. If it is a 'fake', then they are putting a LOT of copyrighted names (Verizon, Samsug, and the factory) plus going to the bother of serializing it. So if it is fake, it is real good.

I'm not familiar with "Samsug". Maybe there's your evidence of a knock off!!!

Got mine in four days. Ordered two extended and one standard. I would be utterly suprised if they were fake. Makes me wonder where they got them from. Maybe they "Fell off tha truck eh"

Got mine the next day. I Had to pay a little extra on the s&h but I also got a new cradle and two belt clips. Everything looks to be OEM.
The part I did not like was the spoofed email. I though I was had when I saw that. I did purchase it directly from their website rather than off ebay.

That and it really says Verzion on it.

Got my batteries also and if these are aftermarket...they went through a lot of trouble to make them EXACTLY the same. Down to the serial numbers being in a darker ink... I have more batteries than I really know what to do with now

I got mine today as well. I believe it took about 6 days to get the, so no complaints here. I also agree with everyone else who's received these. If they are not OEM, they are the grandest forgery of all time. Folks, IMHO, these are OEM.

After a full day, they seem to work fine.

Mike

Thanks a million! One of each size shipped fast. Real OEM I'm also certain.

I ordered a slim battery. It arrived in a few days. It appears genuine and works as well as my current battery. However, it had some scratches, and was sent in a ziploc, so I assume it is a used battery. It works fine, so I'm happy with it.

Each of mine was in a small ziplock, but no scratches.

Mine as well..no scratches but I imagine they are just sitting in a box or something. Can you get them anywhere in retail packaging?(ie. Verizon or samsung)

Of course. Here is a link to Samsung:

http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/n...od_id=SCH-I730

Plus the standard battery and other accessories can be purchased on www.verizonwireless.com

Looks like they are out of stock at the moment, so if you want to pay exorbitantly outlandish prices for the battery, you will have to wait a while longer.

That Ebay store probably has the market all locked up.
