The BP-4L pseudo-Nokia battery packs work fine in the F160. Ordered a 1500 mah pack from an ebay dealer in Hong Kong for only a couple of USD with shipping. Fits OK, but is very slightly thicker than the 2 1000 mah packs that came with the phone so the back cover is a snugger fit and it's also a bit heavier. Might order the 2150 mah packs I'm seeing on ebay now that I know the part number is correct. There's also external battery chargers that can take the battery packs directly.

On the ekit simple calling sim, recommend in sim slot 2(or slot 1 as the alternate). Seems to work best also if the US side is activated even if that part of the dual IMSI chip is not being used. I used it in Grand Cayman in the F160 with a Digicel Bermuda chip as backup. Needed *126*number# USSD number in Grand Cayman to dial out with ekit (no big deal since I just stored this in the sim card memory).

Do try loading some 320 by 240 pixel games, wallpapers or ebooks into the phone. Many work nicely. Ringtones also import nicely. Read some books this way (might spring for one of those Kindle 3g/wifi models in the next month or two; only reader I've seen with 3g international roaming...not just wifi).
