I have bought plenty of mobile phones over the years, as I am sure most people have, and while none have been especially great, some have definitely been crap. The most common problem I have ever had with my cellular phones has been with the batteries. 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 always use my mobile phone a lot, both for my career and for home use, so having a second battery is often worthwhile but having to replace a faulty or damaged battery is annoying. My current phone is working ok but I would like a replacement battery for those times when I am on the road.

These are the details of my current phone (yep, I know it is a bit outdated, I really should purchase a new cell phone):

Pantech C3 (black)

Quick take: The Pantech C3 is similar to the tiny Pantech C3 except it features changeable faceplates for great customization. It’s available in silver and black versions with Cingular Wireless for $40 with service. Read our review of the C300 for a full assessment.

So for now the true question is do I spend the money getting a new Pantech C3 (black) mobile 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 fun. Always decisions need to be made.
