SE have nicely replaced my 2 year old X1 with what looks like a brand new one, I'm tied to a sim only contract for the next 2 years which isn't an issue as I've not seen a single handset that I'd consider to be an "upgrade" from this phone for a good price. The only downside is having to charge the phone every 2 hours, I'm a very heavy user and I think I've completely killed the battery.
I'm hoping to keep it running for at least 10 months (2nd lot of cashback = £400 so enough for something simfree) but I need a new battery, BST-41.
There's chinese auction jobs starting from £3, unbranded replacement batteries from £7-14, "genuine" batteries from £15-20 then SE branded at £30+
Do I go with a cheapie and hope it works or should I just spend the cash knowing I'm getting an official product?
