Both batteries voltage is 3.6v so power rating is the same. Its just the capacity (number of cells in the battery) thats different if I'm thinking right.

Well, BST-40 was also designed to fit P990, as SE(for whatever reason) couldn't release ill-fated BST-34......
And my P990 has never had a problem since replacing BST-33 with it...it also added 1/2-1 days' batt life......
...also last year, I tested a
K810 with BST-40(K800 doesn't have room, sorry)...and(also with no problems in 12 days testing) managed to get
4 days' standby out of it!
Can't see it causing problems in W960, myself......

Yes it does work, as do the P990 and W960 battery's in the P1. For future reference all you need to check is the output / voltage of any given battery, providing it is not different from the existing battery and it fits it will be safe to use. I swap phones often when travelling and make use of all my old batterys in which ever handset I am using.

Hi All,
My other post got locked so thought I would post info here.
Managed to get an OEM BST-40 battery and battery charger off ebay for a very reasonable £10!!!
It arrived this morning and fit the phone perfectly - wasnt as tight as some people warned but stopped the back panel squeeking too - absolute bonus!
I have charged the battery in the phone this morning and the battery indicator is still full after 5 hours and a few texts.
I will keep you posted on the results but i was very unhappy with the standard battery life - ruined a night out last week when it died on me and i couldnt find any of my friends. Seems impossible to use for 2 days in a row with moderate usage, hopefully this will solve my problem.
Cheers

Ok Update.
I have now had the phone switched on for 32hours since first charge with new BST-40 battery.
During this time I have made a couple of calls, sent about 10texts, 10/15mins of internet use and nearly 1 HOUR of Walkman. Ive also just configured ActiveSync/Push for last 2 hours.
THE BATTERY IS STILL MORE THAN HALF FULL. With the old battery this would have required a charge tonight but i might be able to get 2.5/3days use out of it - surely this is what the phone deserved in the first place SE.
I will continue to test but my advice so far is that i have noticed a big difference already.
Anyone else have similar experiences?

No the BST-40 battery works great - I got mine off eBay and it was an official one (item number 150252997558).
So far I would definately recommend.
Also stops the creeking on the battery cover and makes the phone feel stronger.
