I just got an extra oem batt for flights and such, and have a usb cable @ work & a car charger in my car... usually don't need any of them but if I do they allow easy recharges or more run time in a pinch.

Seidio 3200ma battery is fantastic. My phone is huge now, but I figured it was so large to begin with, why the hell not? I've never managed to run this thing all the way down. On the OEM battery, I'd be lucky to go from morning to night. Extended battery for life! :D

Ive had 3 different extended batteries (free at work) and they all suck complete ass. you get about an extra hour of talk time, but its WAY better to use the stock battery & just do a few battery saving "stuffs" on your phone to make it last

I just went on ebay. found some dude that does combined shipping discounts and blah. ordered 2 stock batteries, came with an additional car charger, travel charger, and home charger. So I have three batteries charging, the chargers are desktop chargers, i just plug the batteries in without the phone. I have 1 battery charging all the time, 1 extra battery that comes with me anywhere i go, and the regular battery on my phone all the time. Between these three batteries, no problem lol. OH yea, all the extra batters and accessories came out to 12 after shipping.

I have the Siedo 3200MaH extended battery and I cant imagine not using it anymore.. I was constantly being forced to plug it in all the time, now I only plug it in in the car when im using gps or when i go to bed and its in its dock. never get that annoying msg anymore half way thru the day that its shutting down due to no bat life. Mind you i use direct push and such for work.. so thats a big battery killer.

-D

I use my extended battery the same way dping28 does. Before the Extended battery the phone would only get me just over half the day. Now it goes well into the night. :P

I bought an extended battery and cover for super cheap on ebay. I hadn't been using it cuz I didn't have a case that would fit it. I just started using it a couple days ago and the battery life is better. i'll feel better after my new casw gets here.

I noticed something odd today in the car. I used my oem car charger for the first time and after 5 min my 6700 popped up with a low battery message. this was most likely due to a crappy charger but I haven't tried that charger with a standard battery to confirm that

I would like longer battery life, but as I tend to just keep the PPC in my pocket this won't make it any better. Already takes up all me pocket space. I just don't like carrying it on my side.

:twisted:

I can justify the price, even at $30.

I have been through a few adapters (not for USB, this is the first phone I had with USB charging) which have broken rather easily. Those usually sell for $10-$20. The $30 iGo from radioshack is rather durable and unless you really treat your electronics like shit, it will last you forever.

Also of note, I bought a $15 car charger for a phone at a discount location once and it broke the connector on my phone. I was rather upset that I had saved $15 on the charger only to have to spend $60 in repair costs. :(

1500mAh replacement batter with the same form factor ftw.
