well, my mini-usb port broke within about 3 months, so i bought an external charger and a few extra batteries. it works well, but (and this might be the ebay batteries I bought) around 20-30% it goes into a steep dive and shuts down, often around 15-20%. I've reset the battery stats with a full battery(stock) and used it to 0%, then put in a new battery. it still does it. I simply CANT charge a battery in the phone. am i just SOL?

I think that's just a problem with buying non oem cheap batteries. And you can always get a replacement from VM.
