btw, the sprint diamond and touch pro have the same battery, yet the diamond doesnt have led flash... they used the short/fat battery design instead of the long slender... that had to have been a design error as they used to use long slender batteries for the mogul (which also has a flash). just because htc is awesome doesn't mean they always make the right choices or use the best technologies. look at their cheap chrome and yellow displays on the tp and some would say look at the stuck pixels on the tp2.

I apologize for calling it a "scam"... It's more like "sneaky advertising", and almost all big businesses are guilty of that. I don't know much about phones, which is why I read around this form. But I've done my fair share of real world battery testing... look at the attached pics. The ones on the left are all Lithium Ions. I am just trying to contribute to the community and inform everyone that it most likely is not a good choice to spend $50 on a battery that is doubtfully any better than the stock one. If you are reading this topic you will notice that a few users have tested these expensive aftermarket batteries, and they didn't seem to be very satisfied with the results.
This is
*off topic* ....but if your as strange as me and you need to see more about batteries, head over to the candlepowerforums.com . Some users there have done absurdly extensive battery tests. couple of examples:
