uhm.. the one that came with it lasts 25 minutes! No joke!
I've called phONY several times and also confronted their EU manager
with it. Even though their PDF spec sheet says "up to 1.2 hrs" it
refuses to last longer than 40min in IDLE mode.

phONY says "sorry, it's supposed to last *that* long (40min max) 'cause
it's a desktop replacement".

The extended batt pack is what other manufacturers put into their machines
as standard! Therefore I don't consider a battery that lasts 1.5hrs as
'extended'.

Dunno - but I am on to Trading Standards now awaiting some feedback...
