the terminals of battery are same as original

but in case one fits a higher capacity battery on one with lower capacity, the mobile will only charge till the point of old battery. some guys tested Defy with Defy+ battery and found charge getting stuck on 80-85%

mobile is programmed to recognize the battery as a whole and show the charge level or accept charge. so even if you fit in a 1800mah battery on a mobile with originally 1500mah battery, mobile will think it has a 1500mah battery and charge it till 1500mah and then stop.

don't know. but if this is hardwired into the phone SOC, then its not possible.

So what are the advantages of android over any other mobile OS/ platform ? I'm thinking of getting an android ditching my 1 year old Nokia handset .But its hard to justify the purchase unless there is considerable difference between both. (Also 20K + for a phone ain't that cheap)

Mobile knows its battery capacity as time of manufacturing. so when charging it counts the amount of current passing through the terminals and halts charging at 100%. so if you fit a 1800mah battery, mobile will still feel it has a 1500mah battery and halt the charge process as soon as it detects 1500mah charge enter the battery. this is what i feel happens. in real life things mayn't work like this
Other mobile OS = Symbian, Blackberry, iOS, WP and a few others that are no longer used (linux, meego, etc).
with all the above OS, other than iOS the other 3 lack apps. its not about the sheer number of crap apps but if you have more choice, the better. Also Android have an extremely huge number of free games which are paid in most other platforms.
Next is the OS itself. Android is customizable. both by DEVs at the core or by user at just the UI level. which is limited in case of other platforms. Also as it is open source, so you no longer need to worry about official updates (nor do manufacturers care about the same). Its really hard to go for official updates or other mobiles once you use Android cause its not amazing everyday. its amazing every minute. every minute you can have an almost new and different mobile
But remember Android lags irrespective of you having a 5k mobile or a 25k mobile. in an attempt to differentiate their mobile from the rest manufacturers customize Android for their mobile which actually acts like a bloatware.
