And the most convincing evidence is that the gold colored electrical contacts have scrape marks from having much more wear on them than my original battery, which I've used constantly for 2 years. The product description states as good or better lifetime than the original and it's not.
It was sold here, by Webtreo on 6/3/09. The description did not say used.
This is a used battery. About 2 days on standby (screen not lit).
The price was good. But the lifetime isn't nearly what the original Palm battery had.
Also one of the tamper-evident stickers shows clear signs of being pried up at the edge. They should be perfect from the factory if it was indeed new.
At first, I thought perhaps I accidentally made a mistake, since I had been clicking around. In that regard, it's a good deal for $8 (incl. My old battery was practically dead, so this one, regardless of its quality, works better. But, when I went back to double check, some weird things happened which led me to believe that Webtreo and AccessoryOne were the same company (if I clicked the links in a certain way, both "orders" led to the same page). shipping).However, I urge everyone to double check their order. I was surprised, after ordering, to receive two separate batteries, one from AccessoryOne, and one from Webtreo. Now, there is nothing wrong with that, except I suspect that there was a glitch where one order got fulfilled twice--and I got charged twice. Granted I didn't check my order (it was really cheap)--and for the same reason, it's not worth my time and shipping cost to return it.I have been ordering from Amazon since the company first started operating, and this was a first for me.So, double check your order before submitting it.
Great product. Fits in the battery case without problem, unlike the Seidio battery. Since I bought it, I haven't had the phone go under 50% charge.
Perhaps not fair of me but I deducted one star for the fact that the battery won't last a full day with "decent" mixed use -- phone calls, internet usage, mp3 playing. My Treo 650 was only usable for minutes at a time away from an AC plug before I replaced my battery with this product. Absolutely seems to work as advertised. Add use of bluetooth to that list and you're certain to still need an AC charger at some point during the day. But it can go all day long if I cut out one of those activities.
This is exactly what I needed and at a great price. It was delivered promptly and quickly.Thanks again.
