somebody said that it works? i bought bld-3 battery but didnt worked to me.. yes, it fits into phone but those metal things on battery and on phone dosent take contact so maybe u can remove thos plastic things on top of battery and then it will take contact to phone.. i havent tryed it yet but if somebody will and it works with no problem i will do it also!
Sorry about my bad english! |

@peltsi - Welcome aboard mate! There's a guy from Manila who said it really works, he manage to remove the 4 rubber parts  , though the thread was locked, to let him continue here, but didn't, hoping he would ! |

I'm from Manila too and I got the BLD-3 to work. The contacts on the phone and the battery don't line-up exactly so what a did was to very carefully slightly "move" the outer terminal contacts on the phone to match with the battery. I used a small needle-nosed pliers for this. So now I regularly switch from the original battery and the BLD-3 battery. I charge the battery using a desktop charger so I won't have to keep opening that plastic covering the charge ports on the phone which already is slightly deformed from the constant opening/closing of that cover.
For you guys who find that your current battery on your K700i is performing as expected, hurray for you. I was desperate to try anything to be able to get the phone to last more than a day. Saw a post in another forum that it could be done and that it lasted longer than the original battery so I tried it. What the heck, if my phone got ruined, I could always get it fixed in the so many cell repair shops here in Manila.
Now my phone gets more "mileage" on the BLD-3, I should know cause when I change to the original battery, I get 20 - 22 hours average but with the BLD-3, I get over 28 hours average. But I think that's because the BLD-3 is rated at a higher Mah than the BST-30.
Day by day as I use my Sony Ericsson Phone, I find more and more reasons not to go back to Nokias.
Sorry Nokia fans but that's life . . . |

@scotsboyuk - Just an observation here . . . is it 'novel' - books/stories. or 'noble' - intelligent/wise/good  ! |

Hey all! I'd be carefull about using the BLD-3 in your phones. My k700's battery BST-35 is 3.6v whereas the BLD-3 is 3.7v. Not a lot of difference I know, but that extra 0.1v could be causing some damage to the phone's components and cause them to fail prematurely. The same is true of the battery, as you will be charging it at a lower voltage than it is made for. I can't quite remember what I was taught in uni so correct me if any of this is wrong
Have a look at some of the photo's on my site, they can be quite good (no adult content!) |

@drhunter - The 0.1v in any way will not damage the fone dude! Even if the disparity reaches as high as - 0.5v . . . |

Ok, but I'd still be cautious about using it!
Does the phone have any sort of regulation, or is it just because the difference is <5%?
