Hopefully they'll arrive soon.

In case I haven't mentioned it already, in my tests this battery measures up very close to 2400mAh, measured from the shutdown threshold to full battery.

It'a so refreshing to see someone make a battery labeled and marketed with its real capacity!

Yes, I've noticed also, the capacity IS what is promised.
It was better to be also, for that price.
Mugen Power company isn't just some NO NAME company, so I felt pretty secure when making the order then. They have been in Formula F1 industry before also.

The design bugs are a misfortune though. The back cover design flaw is probably cheap to correct, just plastic; but the wrong type of resistor inside the battery is a different thing.
I haven't got any info are they planning to fix that issue or not. A new (or two) back cover won't fix it. There could be also a software fix, but that needs Nokia as BME is closed source.

Presumably that is not a bug - you'd think Mugen would know about that kind of technical feature as it's hardly the first time it's been used to determine capacity in a mobile battery. If it's news to Mugen, after all these years in business, then that would come as a suprise.

On the other hand you can excuse them for the lack of a magnet and white reflector as these features are somewhat unique to the N900, although a modicum of investigation would have revealed their existence/purpose. I still can't help thinking this product has just been cobbled together though.

When I get the time I plan to test at which temperature you need to boot n900 for bme battery measurements to become useful :)

Dude, I'd love to find cargo pants in my size! I love them! Even cargo shorts would rock too. Especially since I've got several large 1+ lb batteries I periodically need to carry with me.

Has anyone received an updated rear cover yet? I'm contemplating ordering one of these but I don't want to have to mod a bad cover.

I haven't received mine yet.

Are they fixing the lack of sliding camera lens cover?
