I have bought numerous mobile phones over the years, as I am sure many people have, and while none have been especially brilliant, some have definitely been useless. The main problem I have ever had with my mobile phones has been with the battery. The cellular phone battery has either broke or it just would not last long enough and I would need to get and carry a replacement battery.
I tend to use my cell phone often, both for my work and for home use, so having a second battery is often worth it but having to replace a faulty or damaged battery is so annoying. My newest phone is working fine but I would like a replacement battery for times when I am on the road.
Cell Phone Battery
These are the details of my latest phone (yeah, I know it is a bit outdated, I really should purchase a new mobile phone):
I-mate K-Jam
Similar to the T-Mobile MDA and the Cingular 8125, the I-mate K-Jam is a quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900; EDGE), Windows Mobile 5 smart phone. The device rocks a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a 1.3-megapixel camera. Unfortunately, it’s not supported by any U.S. carrier, although you can purchase an unlocked version online. For more information on the I-mate K-Jam, please read our review of the T-Mobile MDA.
So for now the true question is do I spend the money buying a new I-mate K-Jam cellular phone battery or do I just get a new phone with a better performing battery? Replacement batteries are fairly cheap but a new phone would be great. Decisions, decisions…
