    I dont do Ebay, but i am need of a 9-cell battery for my M1210, I tried ordering from this place http://www.portablecomponentsforall.com/index.php monday, seemd legit enough, but now I wonder, its been two days, I havent received ANY communication whatsoever, my calls get sent to a generic voicemail on the second ring, only positive aspect is my card hasnt been charged yet. I've sent an email and left a voice message, another thing that concerns me is that there are at least 4, possibly more sites with different names, but the phone number is the same, so its the same company, I'd like to save a little scratch if I can, but so far the only places I know by rep to get it from would be dell or batteries plus, and they want $189 for it and it will be at least 45 days to get it. Any help? Thanks.

    They havent charged my card yet, but I cant seem to get through to them to cancel, if I havent heard anything by tomorrow, I'm just going to put a hold on the card.

    Well, they suck at communication, still havent gotten a reply to my phone messages or e-mails, and my card still hasnt been charged, but.....a shiny new 9 cell battery is charging away in my M1210 right now.....So they get an B+ for shipping, and an A+++ for billing!
