The batteries in my two Samsung SGH-N105s are noticeably degrading. I
web searched for suppliers of replacements and got a couple of
thousand hits, nearly all of which were for resellers that I'd never
heard of, and were not listed at ResellerRatings. For those that
*did* appear at ResellerRatings, the news was mostly not good.

So here's my question: does anyone have any suggestions for a
replacement battery source that you've used and who's given
satisfactory service? It looks like there are several aftermarket
manufacturers who make this battery, including the upgraded capacity
flavor. Any recommendations there?

Thanks for any help.

Samsung shows them as out of stock. If it's because they don't make them
anymore, then the generic ones you find might be as old as the one you have.

I've used NewEgg <http://www.newegg.com> and had very satisfactory
experience and good value.

Also have used http://cellphoneshop.net and their non-OEM batteries
with success.

I've used www.batteries4less.com many times for Nokia, Nextel & Motorola
phones. Very good prices and ships quickly. You can also find some
listings on ebay from the same company.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'd thought of Newegg too but they
don't have the type I need -- if they'd had it, I'd already have
placed the order. The CellPhoneShop has a generic replacement, but
it's -gray- and would look pretty bad attached to a 'champagne' color
phone

Looks like I'm gonna go with cellpower.com and their extended-capacity
aftermarket battery. They claim to have a 30-day NQA return policy
and 1 yr warranty. But then, so do a lot of disreputable Internet
vendors.

Unless you especially like this phone, I suggest calling a T-Mobile company
store or customer care.
It may be cheaper to upgrade your phone than purchase a battery.
I suspect that is one of the reason T-Mobile carries so few batteries.
