I have only had one replacement Battery Pack to date, although the replacement is not as good as the Sony product it works but requires a more frequent top up charge, I would not part with this super cool phone.

I got it when it first came out and I still have and use it. It's a bit slow typing an sms and you can only do one page but to be honest that is actually a bonus... it means I get time to think about what i'm typing and I can't be too verbose... saves a fortune and no embarrassing mistakes :) Now all I need is a couple of spare batteries (yes i'm still using the original battery !!! ) The phone is magic… I got it when it first came out and I still have and use it.

Got it in 2000 and totally loved it.... Some loser stole it! Didnt buy another phone since... The jog dial... the games.... Awesome. Actually mine got run over by a car, and the jog dial didnt work right, but I never would have given that phone up. I was so thrilled I even added z5 to my email id! (L) Huge fan :)) My first and best phone, ever!! Got it in 2000 and totally loved it…. Some loser stole it! Didnt buy another phone since…
