Pros: The build quality is very good, It looks and feels just like the original, exept fot the holograph. My daugther uses it in her Nokia 5140 and "it fits like a glove". This all for an unbelievable low price!
Cons: Ony one con: The battery life is much shorter than that of the original one. When not used frequently, it can hold up to two days (48 hours) maximum.
Other Thoughts: Well, for that price, you can always order two batteries, instead of one. So you don't run out of juice ...
Bottomline: Bottomline: very good fit, very good build quality an very, very cheap. Only to bad of the short battery life. Still, I highly recommend this battery as a good deal. Or even better, buy two of them.
Good and cheap

Pros: Cheap replacement battery. Bought it for my nokia 5300 xpress music. Fits great in there. My original nokia battery was about 1,5 year old and couldn't keep the phone up more than a day. When I bought my phone it had the uptime about 3 days. With this battery I can get to same results. Don't know how long it will last to keep my phone up like this but for this price its worth to buy few more.
Cons: Nothing I can think of.
Other Thoughts: When you need low price budget battery for your cellphone, here it is. Just be sure that your phone uses BL-5B battery before buying this.
Bottomline: If needed buy it.
Excelent BL-5B replace

Pros: The build quality is almost like original. I bought it for my Nokia 6120c and works like a charm. It's a clone of BL-5B model and price is definitively incredible.
Cons: The battery life is a little bit shorter than the original, but for the price it isn't a big deal.
Other Thoughts: It works very well and fits good. It's almost like original but fot 1/5 of it's price. Althought the life of battery is a little bit shorter, it's good enougth and for the price is perfect.
Bottomline: If you need a battery replacement for your Nokia BL-5B this is for you.
Very cheap, don't use it for your main phone

Pros: It works and it's cheap. An official battery at your local shop can easily cost you 5 times the price you pay here.
Cons: To fit in the phone I had to sandpaper a bit, everyone can do that so it's not a big con.
My main phone broke down, and my old phone battery was really busted. While my main phone is send for repair I'm using this battery in my old phone. But on normal use it only can make it through around 30 hours. The original battery did last much longer.
Other Thoughts: It works on a nokia 3220.
If your nokia battery says "BL-5B 3.7V" it will definitely work.
First cycles let the battery unload all the way and load it all the way, unload all the way etc. (That's always the best way to load, but especially important in the beginning).
Bottomline: For your spare phone, or as a spare battery it's great. It's cheap! But to use it on your main phone it's anoying (it's gonna break down on you just when you have an important phone call, happened to me couple of times now).
