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?
