A while ago there was mention of T-Mobile upgrading the Google Android T-Mobile G1 battery with a longer lasting replacement, well apparently its happening.
Apparently a G1er got off the phone with T-Mobile and posted this at Android Central…
Just wanted to let you guys know that i just got off the phone with a tmobile supervisor who confirmed that replacement batteries are being sent out and that there was an internal memo sent around that extra batteries are being sent out free of charge and there will be no need to send back your old one! He was unable however to confirm whether or not they would be of a higher capacity or not.
So there you have it, great news for T-Mobile G1 owners.

unforunatly this isn’t true, i work for t-mob (uk) on the dept that dealing with fauty handsets etc and at the moment you cannot under any circumstances get a rep battery for a g1.
Is this for the US or UK T-Mobile customers? because I am UK T-Mobile customer and I haven’t yet heard off such thing at all ??
I just got a G1 a few weeks ago and finding the battery is crap like everyone else
Called T MOBILE who said the USA COMPANY ARE SENDING OUR NEW BATTERIES(Same capacity )
T mobile uk are not sending out batteries ,but they are talking to the manufactures as they know the batteries at present are insufficent power and are working on a solution so will have to bear with it at present
well ive been sent out a new battery from t-mobile after i e-mailed them and got a call back from a customer service rep, should be with me in a few days. Not sure if its a higher capacity though but ill let you know when it come if anyones intrested.
