Besides: it says here that there had been 83 complaints in two years in the US about exploding cell phone batteries. How many cell phones are there in the US?
I think I have more chances to be hit by lightning or a meteorite.

The only thing that worries me about ordering this is that in the product description is says 1320mah but if you look at the pic it only says 1000mah...interesting...

This is actually the most important problem with counterfeit batteries. Third-party ones bear a brand name, just not the one from Nokia. Even if the manufacturer is in China, they do not really want to be associated with customers going in flames.
Counterfeit goods are illegal, and bear no name (or rather a false name). If they fail, and they do, the manufacturer is nowhere to be found. Besides, for this counterfeit battery, the manufacturer invested great expense to have a counterfeit hologram made and a label quite similar to the original printed. Yet, it costs about the same as a third-party. On what do you think they have saved?
I should say that I have a relatively good experience with third party batteries, and not only for Nokia. You take your luck, some fail (one 1 in 4 or 5 in my limited experience), but mostly they are similar to the original models. When they cost a third of the price or less, I am willing to take the risk. They can even cost a bit more if they are sold under an European brand (which means I have a usable warranty and they will get into real trouble if the battery goes in flames).
