I would just get a spare OEM battery and carry it around. It's small enough. I have like 7 batteries laying around, that I switch on & off with.
I don't like the thickness of the extended batteries. One of the reasons I purchased the Diamond was because of its compactness. The extended battery would make it too thick for me.

How do you charge the extra batteries? LOL

I just put the battery in the Diamond and charge away. I usually rotate 3 batteries.

Yeah I have 2 extra, usually just carry an extra one if I may need it, and keep a charged spare in the car.

Cripes after years and years with huge phones, I'm not making it any bigger myself (except for the screen on my hd2 when it comes out
