They replaced the battery and screen, and did a full system detail. Well I found out today(the day after getting my ld), that they installed a 5000mah battery instead of the standard 1600. I can operate on wifi for 15hours SRAIGHT. I tested it out. I sat and operate the wifi, bt, blazer, ptunes, full contrast, and filled up my 3.85GB(I was trying to spin the disc). I was able to pull this off for 9 hours!!!! Whooohooo!!!!!!! This has been the greatest purchase I've ever made.l Wow! Jesse

There are Axim batteries that go that high I believe, but still, thats a stretch... __________________ Brad Green - Enthusiast Extraordinaire...

Anyway, tell me how I open her up, and I'll SHOW you. Jesse

OMFG!!! You'd be my hero as well. Please let this battery be slim enough to fit in an EB40 or TX. **Crosses fingers** I hope this isn't a hoax.
