Cingular gives free extended battery for BlackJack

Unusual and a nice gesture from Cingular, but if you got your BlackJack a while ago then it came with two standard batteries. In my experience the standard battery lasts less than a day if you are using 3G and have Push Email enabled all day.

The Extended Battery easily lasts more than a day. It does add some bulk to the device, but it's much better integrated then the extended battery on the Moto Q.

Anyway, the current BlackJack comes with the extended battery and Cingular has set up a rebate program for previous owners to get theirs.

You can find your IMEI number by entering *#06# on your phone.

I signed up for the rebate online but recently was in the Cingular store and just said, "Hey, I have a BlackJack and I heard there is an extended battery rebate..." The clerk just said, "One sec." Grabbed the extended battery, scanned it and said "There you go!". No questions asked. It was near closing on a Friday, so maybe he was just wanted to get me out of the store.

I never received the extended battery with my blackjack and I tried to fill in the IMEI number but it is telling me it is invalid when I press *#06# the number that comes up ends with a / and 3 numbers after it and does not fit in the boxes on the att page?
