Are u using a extended battery?

I was just wondering how many ppl are using the extended battery. And if u aren't do u have problems with battery life? And those are, how much extra life do u get out of it? I am currently not using one but have thought about it. But I try and charge it when not in use. But I use mine all the time, and I last about 6-8 hours on a full charge.
Thx,
Mike

I thought about it but I decided to sacrifice battery life rather than size. The 6700 is big enough I am not going to make it any bigger.

I am with your guys on this one. I really like the battery to have more juice to last a day without charging it. But this extended battery really makes the phone STICKS out. Who said SIZE doesn't matter?

I have one but I don't use it much. I use it most when I am flying some where. Otherwise it just makes the phone to heavy.

that would be a good time to have one, but I don't fly much. I actually have a fear of heights. acrophobia

I have not looked at it that closely.... I thought about it and then ended up picking up a dock for work instead, so now I just charge more often.

I'm like Big D5: have one (Seidio 2400) but don't use it often. It is kinda big but more importantly, I found I didn't even come close to using it to it's potential.

So I'll keep it for those emergency weekends or special occasions.

I'm planning on picking up the Lion Battery 1500 just for a little extra boost but stock size (plus it has the mysterious 'metal plate' which may or may not improve reception...)

I've thought about getting an extra battery because the battery life is so poor. But instead I'm going to get a car charger and an extra charger for work. I have seen a couple on ebay for around $10-15. Any recommendations?
