Gold Medal Packaging So I was forced to order a new battery for my T-Mobile phone a few weeks ago. Actually this is a good thing. I usually have to get a new phone because the battery dies and I can't get a replacement and I really like my Samsung T809. The new versions of this phone feel cheap and cheesy and I just don't like many other models so I was glad I could keep this one. I know more than 2 years old makes my phone a dinosaur but it does everything I need. And no thank you I do not want an iPhone. Anyway, here's the exact packaging that the battery came in. Ok there was one of those air bladder things to stop the battery from rattling around like the last piece of popcorn in the festive holiday can, but come on....padded envelope anyone? The speck in the middle is the battery (you can't tell but the battery is less than 1/8th of an inch thick - even with the bottom flaps).  I'm scoring this one -23 out of 10 for efficient and green packaging by T-Mobile. |
