yes, that is the exact one I ordered. It took about 3-4 days to see a difference but my phone lasted about 1-2 more hours over stock with this battery. For the price it was worth it. It also charged much, much faster than stock battery.

This probably goes without saying but the white labeled "1900 mAh" batteries from China are absolutely terrible. I'd say I got no more than 50% of the life of my OEM battery.

No big deal since I was just buying the wall charger and the battery was essentially free, but I won't be using it much if ever.

Running MIUI on mine with it undervolted. I have such great battery life that I don't see a reason to get a bigger battery.

I hate to bump an old thread, but 12 bucks for three batteries with free shipping? I'll bite.
