Anyone know whether or not the new high-capacity battery of the P1i will fit the M600i/W950i models?
Thx in advance.
Cheers,
Hymie

I've just tried it out (with a P1i and W950i).
The BST-40 battery (for the P1i) is physically thicker than the BST-33. You can use either battery in the P1i, but not the newer battery in the W950i (and presumably the M600i).
My P990i is at home, so can't check that, although I'd imagine the BST-40 can't be used with that either (although, having said that, the undeside of the P990i has the foam square. Removing this may allow the battery to fit?)

the bst-40 is compatible with the p990...not sure about the m600/w950 though (common, i remember virgile saying it is only compatible with P1 and P990) |

I'll double check when I get home tonight (not meaning to tread on your toes Ares). |

Not at all Mark I am curious to see how it performs. And remember, you have to remove that foam thing from the back of the p990 cover to up the bst-40 in it
Please take some photos

Here are the photos I've just taken:
p990i with bst-33

p990i with bst-40 (1)
New window
p990i with bst-40 (2)
New window
w950i with bst-40 (1)

w950i with bst-40 (2)

Hopefully the pictures say it all. Didn't want to remove the foam from underneath the P990i as I'm going to leave the BST-33 in it for the time being.

Will it fit in a K790/K800?

The back cover of a K800i is flush with that of the battery, so doubtful.

As with my first post in thei thread, it doesn't fit the W950i (nor the M600i I would imagine)
