I'm sorry if this has been posted before but can't find it on last 6-8 pages ---

Is it better to buy a genuine Nokia battery or a cheaper compatible. Some of the cheap ones seem to have Nokia written on them, very confusing.

Has anyone found a good supplier, please?

    Kelkoo shows the 1100 at £19 as you say but when I go to the site (Virgin) it is £29 with free minutes. Would I have to get it unlocked to use it on O2?

    My Nokia 3310 uses an O2 Pay up Front for Life card, does anyone where I can buy the best replacement battery for my phone. Thanks

    I bought one of these for £27.99 couple of months ago, but was a bargain as I got £20 vouchers + £5 airtime which come with the sim. I am afraid, you will have to unlock it. I did find it a bit fiddly, not as easy as the other nokias I have unlocked. It's better to buy the Nokia 1100 for £19.99 as it is very small and light and besides the battery lasts for ages. Hope this helps.
