I bought a 10 item package for N900 from ebay which was being sold in Hong Kong. That pack included a desktop charger which looks very similar to that one. It works and is really useful. My advice is you buy the 10 in 1 package instead, ebay link here: http://cgi.ebay.com/10-in-1-Cover-Ba...item563a85b904

Keep us posted, because the price is amazing. But that's also the problem, since it's impossible for an OEM battery, aftermarket charger and generic screen protector to cost so little. The shipping alone has to be $2-3, even at the subsidized Chinese rates. That doesn't leave a lot of money to go towards the OEM battery...
The pictures don't say anything, since they can be faked in many ways. Just look at some of the threads about fake OEM batteries, the replication is of such high quality that even side by side it's difficult to decide which is the real deal. My concern with fake batteries is that they are rated at higher capacities than their chemistry allows.
At the very least charge the new battery in the external charger for the few cycles AND ALWAYS BE CLOSE BY. There is a small risk of fire.

Did you get the package? How is everything? Did your house burn down when you used the charger?

The seller said -
"100% Brand NEW, Non-OEM Generic item / unbrand Li-ion Battery"
So it is not OEM.
And now he has increased the price to 17 USD.

I wouldn't touch it personally, If its not official Nokia then I wouldn't recommend using it as unofficial batteries have a tendency to cause problems.

I use my N900 as a mp3 player alot (especially at the gym) so i been tryin to find a pouch that hold the phone vertically and i can plug in my headphones

Seems like a reasonably good offer. Especially if the battery is a legit Nokia one. I also like the external charger, now I can charge both batteries and have it travel with me.
I bought them, and I'll give feedback ... lets hope things don't explode on me.
