Most worringly is the fact it says its 1320mah on the lable.... but inside it says 850mah!!!

This is quite common practice :)

Remember: if it's too good to be true, it probably is. (Think price and capacity here).

They even cared faking the Nokia hologram. It's not just a picture but a real hologram but I think it's still wrong (the hands should go hand in hand in an animation if I remember correctly). Here's some pictures. Claims to be made in Hungary ;)

Clicky pictures.

Got the same (actually two of those). One has an even better hologram but somehow they still seem to be a bit different than the original. Any idea of how to test them?

hey is that hologram missing the dots on the side of the nokia "coin"? There should be 1 dot, 2 dots, 3 dots on the side of it when viewed from different angles. I forget the exact number...

Not that I'd trust the hologram, nokia said it took 3 days before their hologram was copied...

It shows two on the right, three on the bottom and four on the top, none on the left. But I actually have to twist and turn it quite a bit to see them.
The original that came with teh phone also shows one on the left and they are all alot easier to see. The original hologram has much more of depth to it as well.

I was tempted by one of these

It's not the full 1320 mah but it would do as a back up

It also says that "strap" thingy is original. Does Nokia even sell such a thing?
