"genuine" at DealExtreme is a relative notion, as in many other places :-)
"genuine" as in "the same as item sold by Nokia", I wouldn't think, or else something is very wrong at either end.
"genuine" as in "a close-enough copy that works the same" is more like it, and more believable at that price.
The difference will be in build quality and durability, which or may not matter. I wouldn't buy batteries that way, but cables and chargers ? No problem, at those prices I just order two, in case one is DOA or fails prematurely, and still come out 80% less than anything I could find locally :-)
I love shopping at DE, and never had any nasty surprises until now.

This new one says it's genuine, and the old one didn't. This one has a long cord (about 5 feet) whereas the other one was very short.

Compare old thread on a DealExtreme CA-100 Copy.
