What effect does the thicker battery have on the camera and speakerphone?
With the added thickness of the after-market batteries I was wondering if there were any adverse effects on the camera or speakerphone.

The battery took about 7 days to get to San Diego, CA. I would say it's fairly quick.
None that I noticed. The camera functioned as well as it did with the original lid and external speaker sounded ok and just as loud.
I'm planing on picking up one of the other 2400mAH batteries and testing it but I have a gut feeling they are all coming from the same factory.
I hate to break this to you pal. But the stock battery in our G1's is also made in China.
I buy plenty of LIPO packs from china for my RC planes, they perform just as well as the packs people buy in the US for 2x-3x the money. Little do they know, that nearly all packs sold in US or from china are MADE in china and just relabeled.
infact, a few months ago the site (hobbycity.com) I buy my lipo packs from had to pull off some of their batteries because the vendors in US were complaining that they're selling the same product for 1/2 the price. All the Chinese site had to do was RELABEL the batteries and start selling again.

No effects on Camera/Speakerphone from my experience (I have a Sedio 2600mAh battery w/extended back).
Just to help give a little bit better perspective of the size. See attached.
Yeah I noticed the width of the back becomes roughly double with extension XD
Thanks for the layover. My photoshop skills sucks lol.
It is considerablly "fatter", about twice as fat. but for people with big hands, it's probably not an issue and I actually like typing with the larger phone.
So far the battery has been performing quite well.

i was just wondering, since this battery requires a different battery cover (which comes with it) do most phone covers/protectors still fit on it?
thanks
thanks
batts from china.....i know that....but u do realise that batts from china explodes, right? have u read the news?? there is a guy who had a phone using china batt and got exploded and his phone was placed at the chest.....another guy using a phone with china batt placed at the lap and exploded too....
i once had a china batt for another phone......within 2 months.....it started to get huge and fat then i stopped using it coz i dun wanna be a disabled yet
The top part would fit, but not the backside (depends on the cover style). However, if you think about it, the big backcover is sorta a good protector on its own. A) it's not the original, so any damage can be replaced. B) it's got a lot of "air" room inside to cushion any serious impact.
I have a China battery on my laptop, no issues for 2 years. Works great at 50% of the cost of a replacement.
The fact of the matter, a lot of batteries are made in China - it just depends on which factory does them. To prove this point, I pulled batteries from some of my other devices - one of which is a Canon camera. Both have their official batteries "Made in China". So don't believe the "explosive" hype.
The famous exploding battery from China trick! Wow I would think that 80% of cellphones would be exloding in peoples faces according to your logic.
Just placed my order from ebay. Costed me around US$ 22.46 with shipping to Australia.. I have also added the external charger so that I can charge two batteries at once

I would be interested to know as well.. I'll let you know when my battery arrives but I don't have those silicon or hard covers. I only have a simple universal leather belt cover.. I reckon I should be fine..

Which external charger did you buy? I hope you bought one that accepts extended batteries. Since some that accept stock batteries, do not accept the extended ones. (it doesn't physically fit).
To the folks who had previously ordered this battery from Ebay... how long did it take you to receive it?
Did you get an email from the vendor?
I ordered on Sunday... but the site says they ship within 12 hours. I ordered Sunday night in the USA... but it was already Monday mid morning in China.
Just wondering.
