I was unhappy about the fact that I couldn't replace the battery on my Sonicare. Called the company and they offered me a low price on a new unit though...

I'm glad that the aftermarket is offering up a $50.00 solution to the battery issue.

Batteries are consumables. Considering what the ipod offers - I don't think the price is out of line at all.

Too bad I tossed my old one... I could have contributed a little footage of how you have to destroy the case to open up the Sonicare!

Did the apple tech rep have his head up his ass? Was he not listing to the consumer with the problem?

I am glad I went for the Creative Zen NX. The battery sits in the front like on a mobile phone. Anyone know where I can pick up a replacement battery for one of these?

Thanks! I don't think that they will ship to the UK but I should be able to find another source using the part number
