Might work well, if I could connect it... – Replacement 3.7V 1600mAh Lithium Polymer Rechargeable Battery for iPhone 3G Reviews

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:less than 1 day

Pros:
Low price! Correct form factor, will fit right in place of iPhone 3g battery.
Cons:
Solder points on ribbon cable do not match solder points on battery PCB. Ribbon's solder points only cover 3 of 4 solder points on PCB...
Other:
Requires soldering, this was not explicitly stated in the product description, so I thought I'd include it here. Not a con at this price, but definitely something that would've been nice to know going in.
Bottomline:
Would love to comment on battery life, unfortunately, I can't hook it up to my phone until I find a properly sized 90 degree ribbon.
