I have bought a number of mobile phones over recent years, as I am sure many people have, and while none have been especially extraordinary, some have definitely been crap. The only problem I have ever had with my mobile phones has been with the batteries. 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 job and for private use, so having another battery is often worth it but having to replace a faulty or damaged battery is a pain. My current phone is working well but I would like a replacement battery for when I am travelling.
Cell Phone Battery
These are the details of my latest phone (yep, I know it is a bit old, I really should find a new cellular phone):
RIM BlackBerry Pearl (Cingular)
Note: This product is part of the RIM BlackBerry Pearl series. .
Quick take: It’s no secret that Cingular would get its own version of the RIM BlackBerry Pearl, since it was announced at the fall CTIA 2006 show. Now, it’s officially available through the carrier for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates. If you want e-mail, you’ll need to tack on some kind of data plan. The Pearl is the first BlackBerry device to incorporate a camera, music, video playback, and expandable media. The Cingular-branded Pearl is largely like the T-Mobile version with the addition of push-to-talk capabilities and support for Cingular’s location-based service, TeleNav GPS Navigator.

So I guess the true question is do I spend the money buying a new RIM BlackBerry Pearl (Cingular) cellular phone battery or do I just get a new phone with a better performing battery? Replacement batteries are very low cost but a new phone would be nice. I must make a decision…
