[Wireless PDA SIG] Batteries

[John Dierdorf]

Hi.  As some of you know, I just acquired a new toy -- a Nokia 770 Internet 
Tablet, which suddenly makes me interested in the doings of the WirelessPDA 
SIG.  :)

One quick help question.  I'd like to get a second battery for the thing, and 
the genuine Nokia BP-5L battery (the same one used on some of their high-end 
cell phones) is hellaciously expensive.  I have heard bad things about 
third-party batteries (which are 1/3 the price or less) for these kind of 
devices.  Is there concensus that it's worth spending the extra money for 
the "real thing"?  (I notice that the OEM batteries are not the same thing 
re-branded, because none of them have as high a mAh rating as the Nokia 
battery.

Thanks for any advice.
