Got the Q1 Vista ving it but now lusting for the Q1 Ultra which appears to come with the qwerty keyboard on the face. In the meantime does anyone know where I might be able to pick up a 6 cell battery??? Looks like NewEgg and PC Connection are fresh out.

Ah, you were smart to give up on the 770. I should have heeded InfoWorld when they reviewed it and called it the Worst Tech of the Year. I think of the decade!! I was so stupid to give Nokia over a FULL YEAR to get it right. Each “update” of the software just made it worse and worse, except for that one brief moment with OS 2006.

Hiya, Mike Cane

I kinda gave up on the 770. I found the community harsh and there wasn’t an ereader client. It now just sits uncharged at home. I was thinkiing of selling it.

I love the Q1 now. But it is still not a perfect device. Gets warm when reading and battery life is low. But we shall see what the future brings.

I have both the normal 3-cell and 6-cell battery – but find I use the 3-cell more simply because I dont have the Organizer and have to pack the thing in the original sleeve. The moment I have the Organizer I am quite sure I’ll have the extended battery on a lot instead.

I’m able to fit my Q1 with 6-cell in the neoprene sleeve… it took some careful stretching of the sleeve over a couple of days, but it’s doable and it doesn’t reduce the sleeve’s ability to stay on with the 3-cell.

During Xmas time, you could have had it for ~$85. Buy.com had them for $99 + $6 shipping and handling. It came out to $105 when everything was said and done. Then you checkout with Google checkout and get $20 off $50+ orders.

$85 shipped. I really should have bought two but Samsung doesn’t make a charging station like HP does so it would have been a pain to charge 3 batteries (standard + 2 6cell).

And Thank You Rodfather

Hi Ticonderoga,
Thanks for the comment. Now if I can find a “generic A5 sleeves/bags”, I’ll be good to go! Thanks again.

Alslayer: You’ve got a Q?!!? Whattup with your 770?!!?

Not sure if you can get one in the States but generic A5 sleeves/bags fits Q1 with extended battery very nicely.
