2500mAH Sprint Touch Pro extended battery on eBay...

Anyone try this one yet? I ordered mine, I'll be the guinea pig once it comes in. If the battery cover doesn't fit or the battery doesn't work, I'll be placing a PayPal dispute for false advertising.

You are a braver soul than I -- that ad looks at least a little sketchy to me.

Plus, with a battery that big, I would want to wait until they had a matching case for it.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to hearing how it performs...I can barely make it through the day on the standard battery.

Well good luck to you, there haven't been to many people thats had luck with these ebay batteries. Generally they seem to work but the phone wouldn't recognize the battery so it wouldn't show how much juice you have left nor would it let you charge the battery while in the phone. So good luck

Anything beats my current setup of lugging around a Powermonkey along with my phone... although it's like carrying two spare batteries... that thing charges my TP two times over with a little juice to spare. It also comes with a lot of adapters for the PSP, NDS, iPod, and various other adapters for more obscure devices. For anyone interested in an alternative to an extended battery check out this link -

damn this might not be bad haha i mean, its only 20 bucks! what's the worst that could happen besides blowing up, destroying the phone, burning my crotch or permanently disfiguring me in some other obscene way? lmao

OH WAIT! there is another company besides seidio who makes batteries, i think they're in europe somewhere let me see if i can find them.

You could also try Seidio. I have bought their extended batteris for all my devices and never had an issue with them.
