Maybe I missed it somewhere in the post, but I'm wondering what he meant by charge/discharge cycle. If the life of the battery isn't contingent on the amount of these cycles, then why would there be a number here at all. I probably have my battery half discharged and then recharged about twice a day. I wonder if that's considered 2 cycles or just 1 "full" cycle.
Not really a big deal either way, last year these batteries were being sold on ebay for $10 and might have even went down since then.
This is really good info to know, as it's practically universal to all the cell phones on this site. So perhaps this can be copied over somewhere and made a stickie for everyone else to benefit and to lessen the battery rumors that abound.
