I have an extended battery on mine. It's huge, yes, but the fact that I can go through a whole day while only having to charge at night. I keep the slimmer battery around for whenever I might need it, but mostly I use this one.

Can you point me in the direction of this battery you're talking sbout.

If I can get my hands on an extended SLIM battery, I'd gladly give this thick one I just bought away.

$43 for 15% more life is funny. You can get OEM batteries off ebay for under $7 each shipped (or you could last year...) so you can buy about 6 oem batteries for that and get 600% more run time!

It's just not that hard to swap a battery, if you need it.

I use a stock OEM battery most of the time, but I also have a 3200mAh extended battery in case I need to go for a long time without a charger.

I cant see carrying multiple batteries around in my pocket through out the day just to keep changing them as i kill em. Thats why I got the extended,. Yes it makes the phone bulkier but it still fits nicely in the stock holster that came with it so its not a big deal to me. and never having to worry bout changing the battery is very nice, dont have to worry bout it dying on you and not noticing and missing a call.

Yep, different strokes for different folks. 2 OEMs (ie, 1 spare) are less bulk and weight then one of the monster brick extendeds, and are ballpark the same mAh - and if I'm doing something that kills the battery I'll notice it. But whatever works.... it just seems that tossing a spare into your backpack (or whatever) doesn't ever seem to come up as a choice, and as far as I can tell it's the cheapest one out there ;)

I'm in the market for an extended battery for my WX. If there's anyone who has one and wants to get rid of it, PM me. Thanx. :)

Got the large brick and it ain't that bad, it actually makes the phone more comfortable in my hand, haven't charged since yesterday morning and Im still at 30% thats much more than double life from my OEM battery.

Let's see I have a car, home and two usb chargers for my work and home computers. Could I possibly be away from any of those sources long enough to warrant another battery?
