hey guys.

Ive had a blackberry curve 8520 for a while now, but, thats not pivotal to the issue. my issue is concerning the battery.

It seems to be swelled. I've noticed for a while that the back doesnt seem to fit properly, and i put it down to wear and tear. but, i found the other day that the battery has actually swelled, and i've ordered a replacement.

My question is, is it safe to use this battery until the new one arrives? like, even intermittently, for only a while a few times a day? or is it necessary to air on the side of caution? I've googled a few websites, including crackberry forums, but there isnt any consistent answer - everyones saying different things..

thanks.
