First of all, who would trust a battery/manufacturer that cannot even spell Sony Ericsson (Erisson!) correct?

Then, what makes me wonder, what kind of a battery COVER they include! Remember, ours are brushed aluminum and people state that is used to reflect heat (heatsink).

So, one could imagine they include a Plastic Cover. How would that affect the phones heating problem...

Kindly, anybody that gets the first 3600 battery from them, let us all know if they spelled finally Ericsson correctly and what material the battery cover is (and if it fits correctly and tightly!).

Thanks

Try this: Get a bifold wallet and put it behind the battery cover of the Xperia.
Now type the same sentences on your x1 keyboard with and without the wallet.

The battery is thinner than the wallet and so typing would not be as easy than with a wallet.

I am guessing you did not see the extended battery cover because I accidentally posted a link to the home page instead of the extended battery page.

And the 1800 mah battery is the same size as the original oem 1500 mah battery except it has more capacity.

Sony Ericsson... the web site labeled the phone as a Sony Ericsson. This is correct, you're just ignorant to double check!

And the battery cover for the extended battery is metallic. I just posted the wrong link, I posted a link to homepage instead of extended battery page.

You mean the black battery right?

Anyways, it doesn't matter until we get the actual battery. But who cares about the name, I will only complain about the name if I get an oem battery that spelled their brand name wrong, otherwise if it's from a 3rd party company, then quality is the best thing to be concerned about.

Also there were prototype Nokia N86's that were labeled N86 on its shell, and these phones were N86's. Also, the 1800 mah battery spelled it correctly with the same phrasing that the 2700 mah battery has: "FOR SONY ERICSSON XPERIA". The black battery is unclear quality too.

We will see when we get the battery.

I just saw the clear version and it's indeed spelled wrong.

think i must hold the xperia differently to you, would make no difference to me how thick the phone is. i kinda hook my first fingers around the top and side of the fone so the finger makes a C shape. the whole inside of the finger is gripping the phone and my second fingers are barely touching the back. i can type very fast this way and the phone is well supported. one problem i see with the thicker battery is getting the phone to fit in the phone case i have. ive got the official sony case and its a very tight squeeze as it is. another 5mm would probably be ok but anymore than that and i doubt it would fit. its hard to see from the picture the dimensions of the 3600mah battery but im guessing since its twice the capacity its probably twice the size too.

spotted this on ebay.... worth the risk??

That's why I went the 1800 road! When I get it I will know if that's a real working battery and if it blows up, I paid much less then if it would be the 3600 battery ;)

dude don't scare people like that... a battery once killed a boy from china... freaky *****!

anyways, I'm sure that mugen is a reliable battery brand.

Looks generic for sure, it also looks like not only is this made from china but it's a chinese company... the model number is a legal trick...

I think this is how it works:

It's ok to call your generic fake battery a BST-41
It's not ok to call you generic fake batter a Mugen BST-41

It's ok to call your generic fake N95 an N95
It's not ok to call your generic fake N95 a Nokia N95

And dave, I have fixed the URL link to the extended 3600 mah battery, you will see the actual battery.
Or you can go here http://picasaweb.google.com/mugenpower8/SonyEricssonXperiaX1BST41#5307678349589177746
It's thicker than it looks, because look at the Xperia, the Xperia in this picture looks thin, therefore the battery cover looks thin even though it is much thinker.

Anyways you will see the battery is black and it says Sony Erisson instead of Sony Ericsson... this still makes it a REAL MUGEN battery. No worries.
