I ordered this from Amazon - what I got was a battery marked "Nokia", but in packaging from someone called Cellstar, which said they were responsible for warranty coverage, etc. I don't know where Cellstar gets these batteries, but I expected brand new Nokia product, in Nokia's retail packages, at these prices - not some mysterious grey-market or repackaged stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original Nokia Packaging, May 30, 2002

I almost didn't order this product from Amazon, because of the earlier review that said the battery was repackaged and the warranty was covered by Cellstar. In case you have any misgivings based upon that review, my battery arrived in its original Nokia bubble pack, with a 1-year warranty covered by Nokia.

5.0 out of 5 stars 8260 and 8290 batteries are different!!!!!, January 28, 2002

This review is from: Nokia 650 mAh Lithium-Ion for Nokia 8290 and 8890 Phones (Wireless Phone Accessory)

The 8260 uses the BLB-3 (920 mAh) battery and the 8290 uses the BLB-2 (650 mAh) battery. So it is not a good battery for both models since it doesn't fit the 8260!!!!!
