Pre-Ordered the Phone...Now for Spare Batteries!!!
I just got home from Best Buy after pre-ordering the EVO for myself and my son. Now I need to start thinking about spare batteries. This monster is going to be hungry for juice and knowing all of us, every waking hour of the first few days will be spent playing with the beast.
I've checked the usual places and googled batteries for the EVO and so far all I've found is OEM Red batteries which are going for $26.95 with $4.95 shipping. This is way too steep I think when you can find so many other replacement batteries for current phones at around $5-7.
Are batteries for the HTC HD2 compatible with the EVO or does it have it's own proprietary battery? If it does have a generic equivalent, what is the model number and how can I find one?
I'm sure we would all love to have un-interrupted playtime with our phones and have the reassurance knowing that we have back-up batteries whenever we need them. No doubt most vendors will try to capitalize on the overwhelming popularity of this phone by offering accessories and batteries at an early premium. Nobody likes to be taken advantage of and in these economic times it is difficult to reconcile spending that much on replacement batteries.
I'm hoping there is someone on here who can help with more information on this topic and steer us all in the right direction.
Viva EVO!!!
