So how do we get new batteries for this phone?

Has anyone been able to actually buy any yet?

Are 950 and 640 XL batteries very different? they are both 3000 capacity.

I always assumed they were a different shape or something. Or are they really the same? Can anyone confirm they work?

There is allegedly a Samsung battery that is compatible with the 950 that Is more powerful and lasts longer - there are also plenty of knock-off batteries out there as well...

I want to know that too if it fits and is it compatible, because 640 XL battery is easier to find and it is cheaper. On some webs I have seen Microsoft Battery 3000 capacity that says for 640 XL and 950.

Fonejoy states that the BV-T5E is compatible both with the 950 and the 640 (but not the 950XL, that one needs a BV-T4D).

Edit: apparently that info is incorrect.

My 640 battery is not the same size as my 950 battery, guessing they mean the 640XL there.

So where can I buy one? I have not seen a knock off battery or other batteries that state they will work with the 950.

Wow, that is really bad!! Thanks for catching that.
