My $0.02 on the non-removable battery issue. Just another way to ensure you'll buy a new device sooner. With a replicable battery you could just keep using the old phone with new batteries!

Well, with the Iphone, you have to send it to Apple and they will replace it for you for a fee. In the past (don't know if its true anymore) you did not necessarily get your phone back, but one just like it - IE: someone else's used phone.

I think HTC will eventually be the same way. They will probably provide a service to install a new battery for you, again for a fee.

All batteries diminish in time and eventually die. HTC probably is thinking about how much money they are losing with the battery market and after market manufacturers cashing in. Its probably just a business decision - good for them but not good for you.

The shipped battery is speced at 1730 maH, and the Anker is 1900 (roughly 10% total capacity). That being said, if your existing battery is not performing up to spec (the capacity does degrade over time), you could see a significant decrease in battery depletion over time when in use. For my phone, I ran two specific tests, one using Netflix which not only uses the processor and display, but also the radio heavily, and one where I used resident games for an hour. I made sure the battery was fully charged (green and reading 99~100 percent) at the beginning of each test so as not to skew the results. The end result is that the difference between my existing battery and the new one was only 2% on the battery meter, with Netflix running it down substantially with both batteries. This confirmed that for a day when I use the phone heavily, I will only see a marginal gain in time.
The battery draw while in standby is obviously quite a bit lower, and if someone states they get a lot longer standby time, that would make sense. I charge mine every night and have no need to test that.
My suggestion would be to purchase this if you think your battery has lost capacity, but don't be surprised if your battery is relatively new and you purchase a 1900 maH battery and see only a marginal if any performance increase.

the best legit one is the mugen 1950mah battery however it is quite pricey. the chichitec battery is also supposed to be good.
