The seller claimed that it was shipped on 9/18. I still haven't received it. I filed with PayPal. Still waiting...

There is some stuff here for the Touch. I just ordered a battery and some other stuff but did'nt receive it yet.Ordered many things from here including camera battery's and no problems especially for the price and FREE shipping, it's a great place.

i ordered some batteries from ebay and they work fine but the phone cannot read the battery level, it just shows up as unknown battery... but it does work fine, i got the charger included with the battery so not sure if the phone will charge it since it gives no charging icon.. make sure the you buy the battery for the daim500, mine are diam100 and cannot be read..

I finally got the battery. The seller had to "re-ship" after I filed with PayPal. The battery is made in Hong Kong. The comparable round portion of the OE battery is square on the aftermarket. This makes it a bit snug against the back cover. The battery works fine, the phone reads the battery charge fine. It is labeled as 1350 mAh. We'll see how it holds up.

Edit: Spoke too soon... The first time the phone booted with the aftermarket battery, it read the battery fine. Now, just like j3z3l, the battery shows "0" and the software I use to monitor the power drain shows "0" as well. The battery is labeled DIAM171.

I got a after market battery from DX "labeled htc touch pro 3.7 1350mah", I cant get it to charge through phone but it works.....Do i need to get a diamond pro charger? Its a diamond pro battery but they are the exact same as for the diamond but want read percentage aa well as want charge through diamond phone....Thinking i need a diamond pro charger? Any advice besides buying a overpriced charger form USA? Or waiting 3 weeks like i did for my batteries from hong kong that WORK but i cant charge???

Anyone find out how to charge these after hour batteries, or is the phone charging the battery an not telling me?
