calvin,
yours might be a refurbish battery according to the technical personal...and they are sure yours a ori one...

-vip3rleon9-, pengster,
according to them the battery was manufactured after 05W20 above. your battery might be imitation.

so calvin and fulat's is fake?

hey calvin_gsc,

how bout opening a thread on our chargers? seems that mine is an imitation wan too.. =(

ahh.. okayokayy.. so that means that by using third-party chargers, it wun harm our phones or the batteries right?

instead of fake batteries aplenty, a lot of people W800i casing itself is fake. damn cheap looking and plastic feel. bluek.

what for all exchange the original to fake ones?! to gain more profit?! didn't they get enough money when we bought the phone from them?!

i bought my W800i from SE Tech Center in KLCC, extra RM100 for peace of mind~ nothing is for sure, though. so beware.

just say it's from novarcell.. a trusted company.. how? 
what the.. casing also wanna cheat.. this ppl..

i show them the picture here... they 70% comfirm those battery earlier than 05W20 should be fake one... because earliest first BST-37 only surfaced around late May or earlier June. so that should be around Week 20 and above.

so, bro calvin_gsc, conclusion is?

mayb you could post a side by side pic pf the imitation ones and the ori wans on the first post.. hehe..

just wanna ask.. if it's fake.. they wun catch you or anything right? for posession of imitation products..

referring to the battery life,does the ori ones hv significant batt life compared to "AP" ones?or jz equal?

Question:
Subject: Batteries
Product: Standard Battery BST-37

Opinion: I would like to know whether there is anyway to tell whether
this battery is original or not. Nowadays, retail shops are replacing
the original batteries with recon/fake batteries. Please check out this
local forum.

@calvin

dat reply dat SE malaysia sent to u is for ori sets rite?not ap set rite?

- Sony Ericsson Sticker on phone body behind the battery. -->i dont seem to have dis...can any1 take a pic n post it up to show how it looks like?

well that would mean the phone is ori but not the batt right?

Just get an original set of Midland or T-Choice (I prefer Midland Set)

Make sure got SIRIM,Sony Ericsson, and Midland(yellow-gold shiny type) on the phone...

And also hard type aluminium BST-37 battery with Sony Ericsson and Midland sticker on it... not like foil wrapping the battery cover that can crumpled in when u press hard around the batteries edge...make sure it's hard aluminium type wrapping which cannot crumpled or sink in whe you press it hard

Certain one is refurbish like calvin

What I mention is this 2 sticker:

Midland is yellowish-gold while SE one is silverish-shinny

calvin.. about the batt.. post on the first page the diff between the ori and fake one.. 2uk3y has posted the pics..

Left side tat 1 is orignal.

MY ap set battery is exactly same as right side tat 1.
But my gf Midland set look like left handside tat 1.
Even my sister Z520i mid land look like left hand side tat 1.

So now we can clarify edi which 1 is orignal and which 1 is take.

Yeah supposed to be the same if the AP seller does not exchange the ori battery to fake one.

yup i agree that... suppose to be same with ori.. but i think maybe all of the ap company change all their ap sets battery...

@ calvin_gsc

FYI mine is AP set not original Midland, i've told u that
