my battery life went from being about 15min of phone use to about 2hrs talktime with some to spare. they also say after 8 charges, the life will improve! now, im looking to get as much battery life as possible now. is radio 1.41 that much better than 1.27 as far as signal? is it that much harder on battery life and wm6? im runnin helmis wm6 with the batt tweaks.

yea most of their batteries are pretty good, I ended up with the 3200....which I like alot..but had to give up the nice smooth feel......now the 67 has a booty bump

I acutally will pick up one of these too for those extended weekends at my parents' place. I hate lugging out my laptop just to charge the phone (yes i know i could get a wall adapter but i'm cheap/lazy) How long do you get from teh 3200?

i got the 1500mah from seido last week, and its really good. I am amazed to see how long the phone is staying alive...was worth the money i'd say

The battery is going on 2yrs, so of course it not as long lasting like it was at the start of its life cycle....with just normal usage (1 to 2 hrs talk time if that)..bt on..some email\text...www...and both evdo/1x/wifi action here and there throughtout the day... I still have just enough (not panic mode) battery life left at the end of day when I get ready to go to sleep and recharge.

If your that excited about the 15....hold on to your pants..when you get the 32.

The 15 is nice..since it keeps the phone looking like stock.

6700 was born with a booty bump compared to today's newer devices. I think a 3200 will make is obese, but at least you get more talk time than a 1500

Dose the Seidio battery fit with the stock battery cover. My original battery craped out after about 10 months so i got a cheep battery off ebay its works ok but the battery is slightly fatter then the original one and its broken 3 battery covers and after 7 months it is starting to looses its charge. i think its time to spend the money and get a good battery.

yea, my seido 1500 fits the same way the oem did, not any bigger or smaller

I highly suggest upgrading the WM6. This has almost doubled my standby time for my 6700 and has never been more stable (even more stable than the WM5 AKU 3.5 ROMs).

I am rocking the WM6. Had a goofy glitch yesterday, i couldn't load any OS, even on a new flash. I had to revert back to the oem sprint rom, radio 1.27, and now i re-flashed WM6 kitchen and all is well. no idea what happened, but it's working.
