I'm sitting at about 1300 minutes a month right now and I have yet to find a bluetooth headset I like... so you can imagine the agony of me trying to use that thing lol.

Oh I'd imagine lol. Just for the record I use Samsung WEP410, no hook, good battery life and audio quality, compact size, push it into the ear and done.

My friends goes, wait, is that a PHONE or a brick? I told them until I get my concealed carry permit (not going to happen, thanks California), I'm going to have to get use to it with this brick lol...

Well I have to have the hook... my ear canal isn't large enough to hold a headset in. I got a Jabra headset as part of Sprint's 80 dollar TP accessory package... case, car charger, and headset... But it falls off even WITH the ear hook AND it won't pair with my Touch Pro, just my BlackBerry. lol

Jabra has been ... well disappointing lately. I'd spend some more and get a good headset.

Let's do keep on the topic shall we? LOL...

I was able to found a case for the extended back door for $20 too. Also it's easier to hold it as well, much easier to type too!

The phone stock is 5.3 oz. I don't think the battery adds that much weight to make it a full 16 oz. (1lb) I would say total its maybe 10oz, its really not that heavy in my opinion.

As far as the camera lense being protected, with the cover being as thick as it is, you'd have to really poke something down in the cavity to get to the lens. Dust could end up being a problem, but theres always microfiber cloths.


Battery finally gave the low warning at 11:45, after an additional 2ish hours of streamed radio.

well, i got it in the mail last night. when i put it on my phone my fiance made a really mean reference to the old brick phone zack morris carried around with him on saved by the bell... i think it does feel easier to type on tho.

charged it overnight. i know it will take a few cycles to achieve full capacity, but it should give me almost double the run time of the stock batteries even without its full capacity. it dropped 8% within the first 20 minutes of being off the charger, however the nuepower driver im using specifies its not accurate in the top 10%. I work 930-530 today, in which a stock battery would not last through, especially after taking it off the charger at 630. I will post how its doing when i get home. Wish me luck, i hope turning my phone into a brick was worth it!

man, that looks like a miniature casket

[z28marols1]

if HTC doesnt come up with a firmware upgrade that solves this problem it can be the phones casket lol

UPDATE on the weight

Finally got my hands on a scale. It reads....

7 oz.

No wonder I am always getting ripped off at the street-side vendors

.....and if the upgrade enables the FM radio, battery life will probably still suck
