sabwjawdjw · #1 (**permalink**) 02-23-2011, 08:33 PM

Okay so I found a site that sold the 3500mAh battery and new rear case cover for tp2. So I purchased it for only 70 dollars. thought hey cant be worse then what my stock battery is. Which its the original 1500mAh lol so anyone here got the 3500 and is it really THAT big?? I would hate to have to use their case hopefully my aftermarket housing i bought from ebay will work. I would hate to use their hideous looking piece of fine art. lol

so yea anyone who has a 3500 let me know how they are. I would love to get someones opinion if it was worth the money.

here is a link Black housing cover For htc touch pro2 T7380 Sprint - eBay (item 290528801542 end time Feb-28-11 22:02:05 PST)

that is to the housing i ordered. i wonder if that will be enough room or if i will have to switch the back. hope not. can only pray.

Any news? Did you get the new battery? How long can you go between charging?

i usually avoid the larger batteries because they add bulk to the tp2

Hey Tinker I do have it and waiting for it to get to at least 50% battery life lol. This thing just won't die. Ive watched movies, hit youtube, facebook, using it to call people just to blah to see if I can run it down. Been going at it for about 15 hours without a charge. only down to 79% seems to be holding its own.

and it did fit in my housing i bought from ebay so didnt have to use bulky back that they sent me with batteyr.

Yeah, me too. But my TP2 only lasts six hours off the charger running zsirc. So, I was looking for a possible solution for those days I am away from power.

Amazon.com: Seidio Innocell Extended Life Battery for HTC Touch Pro 2 (3500mAh): Cell Phones & Accessories

that is where i got mine. I could have gotten it cheaper but I wanted to buy from a trusted source.

How's the change in feel of the now larger/heavier phone?
