Called their customer service and was told that they will send the replacement battery within 6 weeks time. Eeerr.... 6 weeks. That means I'll still be carrying that bomb for the next 6 weeks.

The customer service person said WITHIN 6 weeks right? Today is also considered "Within 6 weeks".
The delivery man called me on my handphone at around 2:30pm, saying he is at the lift lobby of my office. I got a shock. I thought really need to wait 6 weeks. And the amazing thing is, I just call the customer support today at 11:30am. Within 3 hours and my battery is changed. Good job!
Oh ya.... its a Sanyo now. :D
