Keyone - the amazon webpage for the battery says (under Technical Details) states:
"Adds only 3-4mm to your device".

I'm considering buying it, and keeping the old battery too. I'll keep the old one in by default, but when I know I'm taking the phone somewhere that I'll want to use WMWifiRouter or something that uses a lot of juice, I'll swap batteries...

Hey now! That is a great idea! Slim when you need slim, heavy when you need the extra power!! =]=]

or just carry 1 or 2 regular batteries with you. I used to do that with the Mogul. This one doesn't seem to chew through batteries as fast.

That is a good idea too!
*Tinkerbell goes to see which would be the most cost effective

Modmyppc wonders why Tinkerbell always refers to herself in the third person?

I want to see pictures of this thing too.

I understand that part, but what I'm asking about is the housing. If the housing is somehow different enough to allow the battery to sit in further, then there would be less protrusion. I am working off of what was mentioned in previous posts where the eBay housing fits this larger battery fine. Unless there is modification, the housing would have to be 3-4mm thicker.
