Are u using a extended battery?

iGo and iTips from RadioShack are SuperSweet. You kind of need multiple phones to justify the $3X.xx price. They are pretty cool though.

I and another users at SprintUsers have been very happy with both this seller and his product:

USB Cradle + Car Charger + AC Charger

The Desktop Charger/USB Cradle is just really cool. The 6700 lays flat in it (actually at a 45 degree angle) so that you can slide out the keyboard and type on it like a laptop . Really neat.



Great price, fast shipping and everything works.

wow that cradle looks pretty cool. I actually don't even use the cradle that came with it, because it doesn't look to secure I mean it doesn't really have any tracks to line up before sliding in, which I'm scared I will break the charging piece in the end of the phone. So I just use the usb. That's just me though.

This is the exact one that I bought as well. I love it. The only problem with it is in my work environment, people always ask me what the "Blue Stick" is. (The stylus is lit up when the cradle is plugged in.)

Very nice though.

This cradle / charger looks kinda hot. Wish I'd seen it before wasting money on that fugly extended battery.

i couldn't imagine not using an extended battery. mind you, i live in a bad signal area, and have a seido 3200 mah and the lion battery 2800 mah models.

I have the $5 ebay extended battery and door. It's pretty big and I rarely use it, but for $10 (with shipping) I have an extra battery when I need it. I'm sure I'll need it sometime.

I use the standard because I don't want to increase the size of my phone any further. I did think about getting the Seido one that is the same size as the standard, but just don't have money for it right now.

Mine seems to last most my day if I charge it to and from work it is fine. I don't really talk on the phone that much at all as I mostly use it for emails and texts.

If I was going to get one I'd get an extended battery that was the same size as the original so it wouldn't make it any fatter. There's no way I could justify making this thing any bigger. I use wifi and/or evdo quite a bit during the day, play games, and talk for less than an hour on it. I also have the backlight as bright as it will go and it lasts from 8am till about 6pm on a full charge. There are days when its about to go dead around 3 or 4pm and then I wish I had an extended battery but oh well.

When I searched Seido's <sp> site, I couldn't tell which one was the extended battery that was the same size as the original.

The one I purchased is the giant one and I got it off eBay.

The cradle thay came with the 6700 stays at home and I have a car charger.

The cradle pictured in the above link, I'd buy 2 of them - replace the one at work and have one for home.

The cradle I currently have would probably get shifted to my night stand.

I do a lot of texting and surfing from my phone; like I'm doing right now.

Having the Stowaway BT Keyboard & Mouse is another plus.
