How are they? I see another battery that is priced at $9.50, but it looks like its the exact same battery... for a higher price.

I don't have the charging dock so can't comment on it.

These two batteries look the same to me except the $5.80 one seems to have a yelloew sticker with a wholesales vendor's name on it. The $9.50 one shows an extra "Built-in safety and protective circuitries" feature in the description.

I have a different pack, SKU 57931, from them. It comes with a bettery but I am not sure if it is a $5.80 or $9.50 one since there is no serial # on the battery. After initial full charge, Streak uses about 25% per day. I have very mininum phone usage (few quick calls/texting/WiFi. I don't have 3G service).
Even it is a $5.80 one, it seems to be working fine for me.

BTW, it took a while to finally receive the shipment in US. (about 4 weeks after placing the order).

I have the charging dock. It works very well I use the streak as a bedside digital clock
at night while it charges. Good value as mine came with all cables and power supply.

Make sure you buy 3 :P.

I dont own either, but I do have a usb cable coming from them in a few days, as well as a zune cable amongst other things. Hope it isn't broken.

I got a USB cable from DX and it is very problematic - it causes the Streak to crash and/or drop its connection. I have a number of cables, both original Dell ones and aftermarket ones purchased from eBay, and none of these exhibit the same issue.

I have bought a LOT of stuff from DX over the years, and it is extremely rare to have any problems, so I guess that I just got a bad cable, but you may want to test yours carefully when you get it just in case there is a bad batch out there.

Can you explain what you mean? I'm not too sure what your saying... it... causes the streak to freeze?! That's so strange!

When I have the Streak connected to my PC (or to a USB power outlet) using the cable that I got from DealExtreme, it frequently reboots and/or loses the connection to the PC. This only happens with the DX cable (I have 4 genuine Dell cables plus 2 bought from eBay and none of them have this problem).

There is obviously a loose connection or short inside the cable.

As I said, I don't want to put anybody off from buying from DX, as I find it's very rare to have any problems with their items.

any problem with this dock and battery so far?

Will the Streak (with the Otterbox case) fit on the dealextreme dock?
