How will (or does) MOT manufacture a very thin, "nearly weightless" lithium battery, with 100 minutes of talk time, using a metal canister?
Or, perhaps there's no liquid electrolyte?
Here's a battery spec & photo for the new i1000 phone we're seeing in adverts:

(Courtesy Gary on the Yahoo thread. Note the asterisk: "Contact your service provider about availability." Web page is dated early Sept.)
Here's a jpeg showing, I think, the battery attached to the phone's back:
151.198.239.33
Does this look to anyone like a liquid - or polymer - application?

The question remains.. Who are they? Short sellers? Why? VLNC hasn't been that high for a long time. Disillusionistas? Not if they bought a long time ago: they'd know something's cooking if they're the least bit interested in their holding. MM's? Unlikely they'd still have that many shares in their own accounts. So who are they? What's their profile? Can you help me with this?
