I'd go for first link as using a 2700 purchased about 9 months ago well lasts about 2 days with me using wi-fi HSDPA etc

Here is a picture (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2785/4017308564_816a86f7f2.jpg) to show my battery as only way i could compare was by image.

The only prob i have had is the GPS gromit thing always fell off so now leave it off...

Thanks Luke, indeed very helpful, LOL I should have asked you otherwise. I forget you keeping so much on kaiser. BTW what is the daily use, I mean I want to use it as walkman, how much is the weightage of this use would be great.

Happy diwali to you & all back home. Stay blessed, have fun. Cheers

That's cool Sunny,

I use as .mp3 player, Wi-Fi "minimal", HSDPA and get average 2 days has lasted longer but just depends on how much i can leave it sat without play :D
Extended battery only adds another 1cm to base to which is really not noticable as Kasier already a brick ;)

Happy diwali to you & yours :)

Peace.

Hello, I tried an extended battery bought on Ebay. It's great. It changed my life :) I can use my phone for a whole day without worrying about battery. The phone became very thick and heavy but tranquillity worth it.

Don't worry about damaging your phone. The main risk is that battery won't last as long as expected. Very few of them don't have integrated control chip but most of batteries works as well as original one. I bought 5 batteries on Ebay for different products and received bad battery only once: it lasted 3 times less than expected.

If you want to maximize your chances of getting good product, check seller rating and comments.

Thanks for your views Arpax, really appreciated, but could you plz point me towards the product which satisfy you, I would not like to send that back in case of any defect. Kindly suggest me something specific, let me know about above links as well. :)

One option to consider is to have two batteries-I always keep one in and one extra charged in my bag. That way I know I always have 2+ days worth of battery life with me with no need for an extra-fat phone or questionable battery.
