Default Touch Pro OEM HTC 1800Mah Extended Battery

I was browsing around for an extended battery and the Seidio 1500Mah Battery was nice but doesn't seem to offer much added capacity.

I've had an account at www.daydeal.com for a while and I found this here:

HTC Touch Pro OEM HTC 1800Mah Extended Battery for just $54.99.

That's more my style. High capacity and still OEM.

Question though, does it actually work with it? Reason I ask is I just got the Fuze today (blasted AT&T stopped "producing" the Tilt) and I'm looking for a bit more juice--and a bit less fingerprinted back cover.

Thanks!

Did anyone order this?...

we need to see some pictures showing how thick is the device after putting in the new battery and the cover..

and most importantly does it block the GPS Signal?

thanks...i really hope someone can comment on this questions because i can't wait to order this

Judging by the epicture it doesnt look like it will add much thickness.

I dont think it will block any GPS signals if it was made by HTC.

I want it...But I am not sure if I really need it yet.

EDIT:

Now that I think about it... It will give you about what? A third more battery life right? Not that bad if it can have a small footprint.

It seems to be worth it. I still haven't gone a day where I needed the Extended Battery yet but I've only had the phone for about 3 days now. I haven't had a true test to determine yet.

My only concern is that my Fuze has a glossy back cover and that this cover might look "off" if I were to buy it.

Very true but at least it is black.

I actually like it. I hate the glossy black cover because the phone slides everywhere. My last phone was the Samsung Blackjack which had that rubberized coating which remarkably saved the phone from knicks and scratches. After 3 years the phone still looked (and ran) like brand new.

I've been looking for something like this. I ran an 1800mAh battery in both my Blackjack and Epix and it seemed to last forever. I think I'm sold.

[EDIT]
After searching I've also found this, which looks a lot like the 1800mAh battery w/ the standard back plate:

Yoni, from Expansys, says the thickness difference will be "only be a few mm"

I'm with you on the rubberized plastic. I came from Sprint and had a Vogue which is rubberized but it just wouldn't look great(to me) on my Fuze.

To everyone else, here is another extended battery that player911 linked to in the post quoted here. It's more what I was looking for by far.

IDK, Maybe it's just me but it doesn't look like this would fit. The bottom of the battery cover isn't cut out to fit like the one in the picture of the one I posted above.

The picture above showing the back with the diamond back is NOT for the Fuze or TP (no opening for the light). I have one of the HTC BP E272 and it doesn't add a lot of depth, the contrast between the rubberized finish & the gloss on the Fuze is fine, doesn't look like a mismatch, then again, I looked for the original TP cover for my Fuze as I didn't like too much shine.
