Summary: Samsung sch 3500 / Sprint
Review: Let's start with the bad things:1: There's no way this battery will ever give 2 weeks of standby time in the real world. When I first got it, about 7 months ago, it would give 5-6 days. Not bad, but a far cry from the "1-2 weeks" that was promised. 2: It decays fast. 7 months ago I could get 5-6 days of standby time. This battery has now been reduced to being 1-2 days. The "zero memory effect" claim is also worthless. Personally, I'd avoid the SCH-3500 at all costs. While it seems like it should be a decent phone, it has a myriad of problems. I'm currently on my second, the first one died after less than a year of very light use. Pick a different phone and battery system.

Summary: The Battery
Review: Light weight battery, lasts a while...although not 216 minutes and not necessarily 1-2 weeks standby either...more like 5 days to 8 days. If you roam alot or your signal is weak, your cell phone compensates by going analog or roam, which generally uses more power even when your fone is not in use (but on). Still not a bad battery tho! Price is rougly the same everywhere...so not too hot of a deal..

Summary: Battery Dies Quickly
Review: Poor. After only 6 months, the extended battery won't hold a charge for more than 30 minutes of talk time. It never lasted anywhere near the 216 minutes of talk time adverttised - no way. It would never hold for the 1-2 weeks of standby claimed. And all this was in digital areas with all power-eating features turned off. Plus, the zero-memory claim - bogus. Save your money, stay with Nokia phones and away from Samsung.
