More battery woes

I'm wondering just how wide the Sony battery problems are.

My new Sony Ericsson M600 has been playing up since I bought it four weeks ago. Yesterday I took it back to find there is a battery recall.

I'm not sure the problem is related to the laptop recall, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Given battery problems are the most common complaint of laptop users, it seems manufacturers need to have a good look at the technology they are putting in these things.
