Personally I'm glad to see this advertisement, but it should be in Buy and Sell.

Yeah, this battery is 100% fake. It is simply IMPOSSIBLE to buy ORIGINAL Nokia battery for less than 30-35 €.

Well that actually is not true. On my old N73 I bought a battery for €2 that was actually good. It arrived in original package and everything.
What I learned from ebay was before buying ANYTHING from ebay, ask the seller if the battery, memory card.. pretty much anything is in its original packaging. The chinese are geniuses when it comes to copying but most times they omit to provide packaging. So if an item, however cheap it is, arrives in the original packaging, it will most times be original.

I always think it's possible that real batteries are being run off the same production line in China as Nokia ones but distributed from there by creative individual capitalists.

The ebay batteries work well as extenders but I still use my original batteries as my main batteries. I bought an original extra battery for the equivalent of €35 in Malaysia. The ebay batteries don't show you proper charge levels whereas the originals do.
Total cost 14 $
