So my wife and I have the same kind of phone. Her battery was going bad and mine was not far behind. I go to the Verizon store the other day and get her a new battery. $42, which didn't surprise me. I decided last nite that I will go get myself a new battery soon. So before hitting the rack last nite I go surfing on ebay for cellphone baterries and supposedly by a new battery for my phone for $6 + $5 shipping.
Hopefully when it comes it is what is advertized, worth taking the chance but this realy pisses me off about Verizon. Wish I thought of this before buying the battery for my wife.
