The Right Stuff
SUCH a relief to have found this item at last.

Have a look through this short checklist:

1) Your phone originally came fitted with a Ni-Cd or Nokia BMC-3 Ni-MH battery (like the one being 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 Ni-MH (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.

Originally supplied to me by Fonem8, the supplier may have changed 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 here is a Nickel-Metal-Hydride BMC-3 as advertised, and NOT a BLC-2 Li-Ion 'Equivalent'.

It does the job!
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?

Incorrect display and description
Was expecting a NiMh as displayed and reviewed but got a Li-Ion instead which will not charge in a 3330 charger. After "waiting for stocks" apparently 2 more batteries were sent but neither arrived although the seller stated that the second one was by recorded delivery. Seller did not appear surprised that neither arrived and promised refund 11.12.08. To date no refund given.
