Congrats to Asus for doing the right thing (and caving so quickly to the negative publicity).
I'm a little confused. Hong Kong customers will get their battery changed to a 5800mAh battery. What is happening elsewhere?
Say, I buy one in the UK, what size battery should I expect? And, if did buy a Eee900 in the UK and got a 4400 battery, how would I go about asking for a larger replacement?
UK machines have shipped with a 4400mAh battery. Asus in the UK have been very circumspect on the issue, and there is certainly NO prospect of free replacements at this time.
So, this 6600mAh EEE PC 900 battery not a original battery?
