OEM 1880 mAh and it really works well, it's original HTC and works extremely well.

For anyone wondering about the thickness, this might give you an idea how much bulk it adds

OEM 1900 and it really works well, it's original HTC and works extremely well.

How much thicker does the phone get?

I'll go ahead and nit-pick; the stats on the web page list it as 1880. <img> <img>

guess that's just an opinion though...

It's not marketed as being only thin. It is one positive but, it has the memory and functionality that exceeds most touch screen phones. It is the rival to the iphone right now in this age and development of touch interfaces and ppc functionality. For every thing the iphone does better than this ppc it has a function to beat the iphone. The extended battery option (which the iphone doesn't have) isn't neccessary depending on your usage but it has the option. As far as making twice the thickness this is also inaccurate it does add some size but it is still not the tank that the mogul is. Additionally, the extra size and weight of the phone in my opinion is a plus, it makes texting, emailing, etc.. a little more comfortable. I thought about not using it at first but when I went back to test the difference in battery length and put the stock back in it felt awkward compared to how the extended battery felt. I think it's a plus and provides more dependability with the extended battery but yes if you set out to drain it you can.

I've taken a few pics on how much bulk the OEM Extended battery adds.

Damn! That is thick... so the cover has that weird bulge in it? hrm... I was actually *sorta* thinking of getting an extended in case of emergencies... but man... that looks pretty bad.

Aren't there battery covers that look like the stock cover, but are just a bit thicker?

I put together a list of the three (obvious) contenders in this post:

Two of the three options have a case that is similar to what you appear to be looking for.
