No way

Better to use an undervolted kernel and/or underclock the cpu and run it at 800Mhz top to extend battery life than too get this behemoth

That thing is hilarious! It's defiantly not worth a couple extra hours.

I have it and I love it. It doesn't look as bad as it does in photos and I no longer feel like the phone is going to slip out of my hand.

Have you noticed a significant increase in up-time though? The thing holding me back is that the factory battery is 1500mAh, the extended is 2200mAh. That seems like a negligible increase to me, and I'm apt to wait for a Seidio 3500mAh or something so that it is at least a double...

I'll admit, though, I know nothing about battery numbers/ratings so maybe there's some sort of non-1:1 factoring where 700mAh more isn't really less than half an increase in up-time?

dang id only use it on extended trips without a charger

My work paid for mine so it is the best battery and cover ever lol! Yes its thick but the rounded corners make it easy to get in and out of your pocket. Its nice not having to worry about charging your phone all the time. Just my 2 cents...

I also ordered 2 1500mah batteries on ebay for $9.96 shipped with a charger from the same company I ordered batteries from for my Incredible. They are cheap and work perfectly...

I bought the extended battery for mine and couldn't be happier. I personally found the stock phone too thin and too light personally. I like the feel in my hand much better when using the phone. Added bonus is the fact that when I set the phone down with the screen facing up my camera is now raised higher and less likely to touch my desk or whatever. Only complaint is its harder to hold the phone between my head and shoulder now when talking. Overall I highly suggest picking one up. Still have yet to see a case that will fit it though.

Lol, that thing makes the Fascinate look worse than the Droid X.

I found a remedy for my phone: dirrk's LV 1250 voodoo kernel + superpower app + conservative mode setcpu = win. Now my phone lasts a whole 12hrs compared to 3 with heavy use. Standby time is also improved.
