I was unaware of this as well, thanks OP!

Yeah, but the TP2's battery isn't red.

lol

the OP does have more posts than me. Sadly running a band, owning a mortgage company, having a life, and a serious relationship tie me up from being on here enough to have thousands of posts. I also just joined in March. lol

Now, my comment was a bit douche influenced so I take it back. My apologies. Additional insight to make up for it:

the crappy bluetooth headset that best buy is giving out with its pre-orders is charged by a micro usb cable, so it will be able to charge the Evo. Free phone charger vs. sh!tty bluetooth headset!

Also, if you go to Ebay, you can buy 2 TP2/Evo batteries and a wall charger for like 14 bucks with free shipping.

and I will sell you a marker to color them red.

Okay this shows your "noob-ness." A wise man would steer away from the cheap stuff and only buy/use OEM batteries or ones from "certified" manufacturers. You'll find out when your pocket starts smoking.

Munroe,

That ebay listing appears to be a great deal, but it's coming from Hong Kong. The last time I ordered something from there it took about 3 weeks to get it. You can get single batteries shipped from New York for $6.18 shipped.

Thanks OP for pointing out that this battery is compatible because I just saved a bunch of money.

I have that one, and it works well. Not as much extra juice as you might think, but every little bit helps! I plan to have this one and all my spares charged up before I go to pick up my EVO. I am sure I will run through them if I am not able to stay plugged in the rest of the day! LOL!
