i like to have a spare battery always charged in my pocket ready to go.. why are they not out for the galaxy s already?
And where's the home dock and the active car holder?
Samsung should have had all this ready and being pushed out with the iphone 4g pending release.
I am disappointed, everyone here wants this to be a huge success. And after the delays initially and the lack of access.... *shrug*
Australian site techbuy appears to have them:

though maybe they are just listing them without having them yet.. says its 'order-in'
Just buy another micro usb cable and a usb to ac adapter wall charger. Shouldn't cost more than $7 on ebay.

that is nothing like an external wall charger and batteries.. you can have 2 batteries charging at once and have spare batteries.. are you dense.. nothing like haveing to charge the battery IN THE PHONE!!!!
not sure if a lot of folks are just unaware, but every phone i've had charged fine from a usb port off my computer
since i started tethering my phone to my laptop (browse the web from family couch) december 2009, i haven't used the wall charger
even if i'm not tethering, i've got a spare usb cable on the desktop, that when i sit down at the desk, the phone or whatever device, gets connected to - far more convenient and fewer items occupying space on the desk
plus, i've got that Tmo car charger that just has a usb port on it's end - so the same cable that i use to tether to the laptop (when in the car), if i'm using the phone in the dock for nav, runs down to the charger - the charger, with no cable hanging off it when not in use, let's me leave the charger in the socket 24/7 - no looking for it in the glove box and untangling it etc
that charger is simply converting the 14V car voltage to 5 V the USB port normally delivers
2 - 3.5 hours seems to take my 1150mah battery from low charge to full
for what it's worth
Lack of available accessories and software bugs, seems to me that Samsung rushed this thing to beat the iphone4 deadline.
But since they sell this thing in so many countries and networks I expect they will have little choice but to support it properly.
dude ita all ther in korea the gmarket got all acessories already
I'm sure once the Galaxy S class family phones for the US are officially on sale, you'll start to see more accessories be available. Just hold the fort for now man. Be patient.

Well I'm a happy user of the GS and regarding to the bugs.. I never had a smartphone which worked as flawless as the GS (and this isn't my first phone )
batteries and external battery wall chargers are fineally on ebay even though they show wrong battery a8 in the pict.. hopefully the are correct battery.
i've bought two batteries off ebay weren't that good on svc life -
one was complete junk - wouldn't fit unless i forced it and then the phone displayed an error msg
i've come to the conclusion electronic items (especially memory cards) are best not sourced on ebay
that review that engadget.com had about aftermarket batteries, really about the extra capacity batteries that ended up demonstrating that only the really oversized (ie double capacity batteries) even came close to their state mah rating, ended up suggesting the OEM batteries are the best way to go

Dense? You said this on the title which I assume is your question, but can't tell cause of your grammar, "damnit where are the spare batteries and wall chargers already." How the hell was I suppose to know that you wanted a external battery charger from that writing. Learn to write so others can understand what you are saying. Nothing in your question indicated an external battery charger. Just spare batteries and a wall charger. Sorry for not being psychic.
i see a lot of 1500mAh batteries on ebay, but the feedbacks from the sellers sounds like they are dogdgy, also the wall chargers looks horrible it's supposed to be a universar charger, but darn, those thing looks scary, i don't want a battery to blow up mid charge.
anyone find a trusty spare battery and charger caddles yet?

Apparantly some accessories are in optus shops now (I haven't personally checked, but someone on whirlpool mentioned they got a case).
Online aswell, although techbuy seems a little cheaper and has more range.

$15 for 2 batteries and a charger...
Cheap.... tempting, but do you get what you pay for? I've never had good experiences with fake/unoffiical batteries.
So I own an i9000, as well as the original 1500mAh battery. I also picked up the 1800mAh battery for the GS2 Epic 4G Touch since it fits inside the phone, despite it's minor physical difference. But if both of these batteries are depleted, it takes entirely too long to charge them both while having my phone attached to the wall. To fix this, I was going to pick up just the battery charger, so I can juice one up while still using the other.
Which brings me to my question. Since the i9100 battery is bigger, should I purchase an i9100 battery charger (assuming the smaller battery will fit in it)? Or should I buy the i9000 one, assuming the i9100 battery will fit (like in the phone)? If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know. They're cheap, so it wouldn't matter if I needed both, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Also, any other advice about these chargers is welcomed. Are they safe? Are they going to ruin my batteries?
I'm just curious since Sensation charges alot faster (2h30 vs 3h30). The only difference is that Sensation charger is rated at 1A while S2 charger is 0,7A. Thx
if it fits it will work.
whether or not it will charge faster / slower i dont know.
Ive got loads of HTC / Samsung chargers / USB cables. I use them all, Which ever is closer to hand when my battery is dying,

They're all 5V, might be anywhere between 500mA (same as USB) and 1000mA.
I interchange my Nokia and HTC chargers all the time.
Some time back all (or most) of the phone manufacturers agreed on a phone charger standard (microUSB & 5V). So they should all be completely inter-changable. Used to piss me off my my kids phones Small Nokia, Big Nokia, microUSB, Sony, ..............
Have a look at: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/mob...arger-standard-amended-to-include-tablet-pcs/
My device is a LG g2 Verizon
I think my battery capacity is 3000mah
I'm looking for a portable battery charger That holds 2-3000 mah and One that will charge the sh!t out of My phone in a second . I'm trying to find one that is wireless charging and with a USB port since my gnex isnt able to wirelessly charge. I'm not to electrical savy , so I don't know what specs to compare. And I see Amazon has some great deals
i am trying to find out if anyone has had any good success with charging thier zerolemon note 4 battery with a charger other then one built by zero lemon? likt this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PJHNMT0/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AYUZZIR8VHSB1
