Stock battery sucks...a lot of people like me got the Seidio Inn 1750mAH battery over the 1300 that it comes with... Exact same size and excellent battery life. I think Verizon released a larger one now but it was late in the game. This battery is assume...

I want the free tethering though, isn't that built-in function a charge service? I actually already own and use a Verizona aircard, but there are a few places deep inside data centers where it just doesn't work but my phone barely retains one bar and can tether.

Also just an FYI, the seido battery is supposed to not be much of an upgrade. I realize you say it gives you excellent battery life, maybe you just got lucky. There's a thread around here where a guy does a lot of tests and it doesn't hold anymore juice than a 1500 in most cases.
