I have bought many cellular phones over recent years, as I am sure everyone has, and while none have been particularly outstanding, some have definitely been useless. The most common problem I have ever had with my cell phones has been with the battery. The battery has either died or it just would not last long enough and I would need to purchase and carry a replacement battery.
I do use my mobile phone regularly, both for my career and for personal use, so having a second battery is often a good idea but having to replace a faulty or damaged battery is so annoying. My newest phone is working ok but I would like a replacement battery for when I am not in the office.

So for now the right question is do I spend the money purchasing a new Hand Held Products Dolphin 9500 cell phone battery or do I just buy a new phone with a better battery? Replacement batteries are fairly cheap but a new phone would be great. Always decisions need to be made.
