Q's re: EQ store, battery order and etc

[sulster]

Since I got my Q in 11/06, I figure my standard battery is about shot. I have the 1640 Motorola battery, but I alternate with the slim original one b/c of my fabulous Vaja case that only fits the slim one. (yes, i am looking at another big one, but i need a slim one for my case to work)

Also, somehow my original Motorola Car charger got lost and my generic plug in the cable that you need charger won't work in my new (to me) car.

So, rather than drive to the Verizon place, I figured I'd order from the EQ store, the problem is that it says the slim batter is going to be available 1/8.

Questions are:
1. will the slim battery ship on 1/8?
2. does it 'help" EQ for me to purchase here rather than from Verizon?
3. Will the Motorola car charger offered on the EQ store work?
4. Who runs the EQ store? does EQ have a supply of oompa loompas? :D

TIA

from what i understand it helps EQ somewhat... it's run by a 3rd party (name i currently can not think of).

other questions.. i would say call them since i don't know what they have in stock.

OK, if it will help EQ, they'll get my business. no real rush on when it will ship.

Let me see if I can help answer your questions:
1. It currently states "around 1/8". I know this is loosely tied with the timeframe the supplier has provided.
2. Definitely. Purchases made at either the software or accessories store do help support the site.
3. Yes.
4. The store is "powered" (fancy name for run by) Smart Phone Experts. They are exactly that! In all seriousness, they have been around for years and I'm very proud to be associated with them. They offer the largest selection of accessories and more importantly they offer great customer service. All products are backed by a 30 day return policy.

Thanks!

Thanks Chris--have seen ya around but never "spoke" directly to you...

Like everyone else who comes here, I have found EQ to be a fabulous resource and generally fun place. So, I will definitely buy from the site and am glad to know I can do something to try to help y'all back!
