Hi!

I just can't seem to get a real answer.

Iwant a higher capacity battery *without*making my phone thicker/larger. What battery can I get or do all the higher capacity batteries make it thicker?

Thanks!

My guess is that if HTC could have fitted a higher capacity battery, without making the device any bigger, they would have done so.

Battery life issues have been discussed since day 1 (May last year, when the Diamond was first released). It seems HTC went with sexy sleekness over long-life battery. In my opinion, they made the right choice! ;)

The HTC 1340mah battery makes it 3mm thicker, but its still looks good.

here are some pics...

I would not trust these batteries you see on ebay from HK. I got one for my old magican and it does not last as long and drains fast when its below ~40%.

Well i just order mine and i love it. Its just 3mm thicker you will not notice the zie increase and the rubbery feel is great. :D Also the juice will last longer.

I received mine for my mda IV last monday and after a week of use, it was worth every penny. It took a day or 2 to get use to the 3mm addition but i now get 2-3 days use out of my phone between charges were before i barley got 1. Highly advise everyone with battery issues to get one!!!

The official HTC extended battery is well worth the money.

IMHO, it looks MUCH better thickness-wise (I find the Diamond too thin and it hurts my palm during extended use).

It DEFINITELY feels better with the included rubberized matte battery cover.

Mind you, I'm coming from a Touch Pro (a car drove over it -- sniff) and I loved it years beyond this Diamond I replaced it with.
