[soraxd]

well ive really been looking for spare batteries.. and this bundle comes with 2 spares, along with a bunch of other stuff, and free shipping. i just hope everything works nice

[tiptronic]

I am looking for the same things too, are you going to order it? I don't really need another case and the screen protectors but I guess there is no harm to have a spare

[soraxd]

yeah, i think i am. i think its a pretty good deal just for the batteries, but the car dock, 6 screen protectors, that capacitive pen, and i really like the idea of a wall battery charger. the other stuff is nice to have extras of too, extra long USB cords are impossible to find, but i often wish i had one. plus all of the other stuff, its nice to have more than one of, and they even throw in a leather case.. wow i just sold [I]myself[/I lol, im going to buy it now]..

[someuser]

Personally, I'd never buy it. I'm just too sceptical about cheap things like this. I've been burned too many times with super cheap Hong Kong batteries that go great for a few weeks then my device stops working or the battery stops charging. Having said that, you get lucky ocassionally and it works out. It's a punt that I'm not willing to take on my SGS yet. I'll stick with the single stock battery until it dies and then I'll just replace it. I would like to get a cradle though. That would be useful.

Have to say I'm with someuser on this. Wouldn't buy it at all.
Screen protectors are probably rubbish as they're cheap and even expensive screen protectors aren't that good as already discussed in other threads.
Wall battery charger, wouldn't trust it, the phone tells you when the battery is charged, this is important for this type of battery, might do more damage than good with this charger.
Stylus, not sure it will work, the SGS' screen works on electrical currents from your skin to activate it, that what it responds to which is why you can't use normal pens etc on it, try it and see, you can't even use your fingernail if they're long enough that they protrude from your finger.
Car chargers you can get cheaper, same with mounts and cables.
I'd definitely spend out more money for a better case too.

Sorry to sound really negative, just seems like a bundle of cheap tat to me :S Sorry Sora!

[SNAK3ATER]

Yeah Sora I agree with someuser and JSG10 on this one just thing about it; you get 2 batteries and 16 other items for what $25?! that's so cheaply unreliable it won't last you more than a month... my advice to you wait for samsung's official accessory for our SGS they are reliable and they know what they are doing...

It is better to wait and buy accessories made SPECIFICALLY for SGS that are higher in price than to buy a bundle of GENERIC items that somehow fits the galaxy S... just my 2 euros...

[soraxd]

lol well on that depressing note, does anyone know where to get samsung replacement batteries?

[SNAK3ATER]

sorry for the late reply sora I had to dig deeply in google to get your answer here you go : http://phandroid.com/2010/08/11/sams...s-accessories/

well it will be available on Samsung's official website (but is currently out of stock ) and will be sold in samsung's shop and some selective partners (check your country's official samsung retailers) I guess they'll be available at the end of august hopefully..

hope this helps you and patience is a virtue

I've got one of these chargers and two of these batteries - I got them as a £10 ish bundle and they seem to work but the charger is pretty iffy:
- It came with no instructions so I have no idea what the different colour LEDs mean
- The +ve and -ve pins on the charger are not labelled (but I think connecting the battery the wrong way round would be a problem - or is it an AC input so it wouldn't matter?) SInce it's a sort of generic charger, the battery can be fitter either way round..
- there's obviously two pins on the charger and three on the battery - I assume that the middle pin on the battery is irrelevant, but it would be nice to know for sure..

I have charged up the two batteries and they live in my bag as emergency spares - I'm sure they won't turn out to be as good as the original, but could potentially get me out of a hole once in a while. The charger has not been used..

EDIT: Mine looks identical to this charger, but is called "Business Universal Charger"

The advice I got from the seller was:

"Dear n*****,

HI,it can be charge when the two needles of charger Contact with the battery cradle out of the two needles.best regards.
