    Has anything progressed with the 6 cell battery for the Z33 or is the 9 cell out yet?

    I have 2 3 cell batteries but the life is not too good which I knew going in......I get 2 hours on regular usage and much less if installing programs or clicking a lot on the net.

    Is the 6 cell out? 9 Cell?

    If so who has them?

    Thank you

    Elliot

    9 cell's been out for 20 months......... never changed from the M5n battery.... The newest "official" S5a/M5a 9 cell shipment came in a month ago... but they are identical to the older ones.

    6 cell S5/M5 will not come to the states. If you want a 6 cell, I suggest picking up a W5 6 cell as that's going to be the only one with it and the form factor is the same.

    Thank you for getting back to me so promptly.

    If the 9 cell for the M series has the pinstripe and looks the same, I would like to order one please.

    Let me know how to pay.

    Regards

    Elliot
