Hi,
Do you know the fact that Nokia is absolutely careless about the quality of its batteries available in the Mumbai Market? It appears that there is no OEM manufacturer licenced by it. Every shop sells fake products and Nokia is happy about it - so it seems because the cistomer will get fed up with non performing replaced battery and buy a new Nokia instrument.
wah nokia wah !
