I bought 2 of these exact a couple weeks ago. Seem to work fine.

I just can't bring myself to trust these random foreign brands. Regular batteries are usually around $50 and this is a little longer lasting for only $10, hard for me to trust the quality.

Lol everything is made in china anyways :P

Zim- do they last longer than the stock battery? It's almost a 400mAh boost, I imagine it's a noticeable difference.

I beat my phone up so much, the extra 400 would probably only be an extra 20 minutes for me. LOL

Seriously though, I think they do last longer. I really wasn't looking for the extra 400, I just needed extra batteries when I am out on the road and away from a charger.

I've charged/discharged my batteries several times without issue. The one thing I have noticed is that they don't get anywhere near as hot as the stock battery under heavy use. Not sure why that would be though.

Please keep us posted on how the battery is working for you guys! I would definitely consider getting one if there is some positive feedback about it from other members.

^ Same here. The stock battery is doing pretty good so far & I was just looking for a cheap extra battery when I found this one. These are the same brand(and same seller I think) as the 2000mAh TP2 ebay batteries. There was a thread for those a while ago & people reported that they were legitimately good, so I really can't wait to get mine

I just ordered 4, two extra for each phone (I've got 2 DH2's; wifes and mine) I'll also let everyone know what my exprience is.

By the way, thanks for the link Kabuk1.
