Have a look through this short checklist:
1) Your phone originally came fitted with a NiCd (Nicad) or Nokia BMC-3 NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) battery (like the one being offered / reviewed here).
2) The original battery wore out (maybe more than once) and you eventually bought a Nokia BLC-2 Li-Ion battery to replace it.
3) The BLC-2 doesn't seem to charge properly - it only charges for about an hour at the most before shutting off, and if you are lucky, it may last 2 days in standby before you have to recharge it.
Does this all sound familiar to you?
Although the new Li-Ion batteries are an exact physical fit for the phone, some phones are so old that they don't know how to charge a Li-Ion battery, hence the poor performance even with a brand new, genuine, original Nokia BLC-2.
This battery, the older NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) version, is the CORRECT version for your phone. Since buying this and running it through a few charge/discharge cycles I'm now getting around 5-6 days and nights of standby from my Nokia 3330 again, the same performance it had when it was new in 2001.
My battery (A genuine BMC-3) was originally supplied to me by Fonem8, but the supplier Amazon directs you to for this item will have changed many times over since this review was written. If you have the problems described above when using a BLC-2 Li-Ion battery in your old phone, be sure to check that the battery you are buying from the current supplier is a NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) BMC-3 as advertised, and NOT a BLC-2 Li-Ion 'Equivalent'.

Ok, it's dull to review a battery but I was happy with my prehistoric phone and didn't want to shell out for something not as good and for gadgets I didn't need.
This battery was an answer to a prayer, slotted straight in and has been working well for 8 months now.
What more could you ask for?
UPDATE - Feb 2010 and it's still going strong!!
UPDATE 2 - April 2011 and it's still working well.

The battery shown in the advert is the original Ni-MH battery as used in Nokia 3310 etc mobile phones, but the item supplied is a Li-ion battery.
Clearly a case of false advertising. Let the buyer beware.

Genuine but dud.
I ordered and soon received two genuine Nokia 3310 original batteries. They have both failed to hold a charge for more than an hour or two, and must be replaced.

Charge required every two days
Well if this is a genuine Nokia battery it needs more frequent charging than the old one it replaces. So far I have had to recharge every two days. Read more

Nokia Original Battery
The man of the house just uses a simple mobile phone for calls only. The phone is a really early model and the only way to get a battery for it was to look online. Read more

Service was very prompt. Battery supplied was a Li-ion type made in China. It has performed well so far.

Nokia Battery
The replacement battery arrived quickly in good packaging and should have fixed the problem with the phone - unfortunately the problem was the phone, not the battery!
