I really can't understand why people would want to make the phone any bigger than it already is with bulky cases or battery extenders. The phone is already huge..
disagree! phone is not huge, in fact its slimmer than iphone3 4 and 5 when it comes out to brainwash the masses.
its screen is huge - PLUS POINT. but thats what made us go for the DHD :D

have you ever thought of buying something like this?

it's like an external charger in your pocket, and it's not even really big
I got the 5000mah version for a fraction of the cost (GBP23 off Amazon UK), and it suits me fine:

I have a case, and dislike getting to the battery compartment anyway :)

if you were to change batteries, apart from the hassle of keeping track of what is charged & not charged, swapping batteries takes time for reboot etc

This way, I know I can be out all day with the GPS on and have no need to worry about power.

Everyone has different needs, but the external pack is a great solution

I would be pretty sure that's a fake.

Using 'gold' does not make a battery better in any way... just shinier.

I bought one yesterday to test it. It is cheap, so even it's like the original, will be enough for me.

Yes, but cheap is not good. If a respected manufacturer has had difficulty (Mugen) squeezing just 1500mah into this form factor, you can guarantee that an ebay seller & his "gold" manufacturer from China have not worked out a way for 2430mah to fit!

But it does goe to show how easy it is to sell an unremarkable product.

Along with all the threads about "high capacity" batteries, those who buy should report the vendors etc to stop them illegally misrepresenting their products

with the uni-body design, there isn't much room for improvement with the battery size. However, I definitely would recommend a custom rom and updating your radio image and RIL, helped me heaps!
