Although I'm sure you're right about the battery technical issues,
actually, the battery problems with the 5300 are more an urban legend
than reality. While Apple did have a recall, few if ANY customers
experienced an actual problem or fire with the batteries. It was more a
preemptive recall since the possibility existed.
