Pinphone 3GS battery question

[waxxer]

hey!

been following discussion about the pinphone 3gs for a while now (I can speek german pretty good, but writing is not my strong side and it goes a bit quicker in english).

the forum is very helpful and has a lot of info, but I still have some concerns about the battery of the phone.


- okay, what happens when for god knows what reason, the battery goes dead and you need a replacement?
- if it still has warranty, you must send the phone back?
- or will they send a replacement free of charge?
- or can you buy one seperately and swap it out yourself? (been browsing through a lot of shops, but didnt find any.)


I already asked fstcrdtch myself, but the anwser was "it has build in battery".........and thats really not helping me out.


so, if any of you guys had a similar problem and/or know the answer, dont hold it back!




cheerz!

Actually it's not that difficult to replace the battery. It is "built in" but not soldered.

All you need to do is to unscrew the two screws on the bottom of the phone, open the back and then the battery can easily be replaced.

So, if FCT can get you one of those batteries, you should be able to replace yourself
