OEM batteries are super cheap on Amazon, for real?
I recently went to Amazon to pick up a spare battery. I searched for OEM, I have NO interest in sketchy aftermarket 3rd party batts. Not long ago they were all over $40, and I just found this one for 10 bucks!

Should I be wary? Anyone bought a spare from Amazon lately?

Also, is there any difference between batteries for the Captivate/Fascinate/Epic/Vibrant?

$10 is a ripoff!!! lol...but I guess if its an actual OEM that might be an ok price :/

Either way I bought 2 generic i9000 batteries (aka no samsung logo) + an external battery charger for 7$ on ebay (yes all 3 items for 7$)...they seem to work ok so far :/
