Extended G1 battery life anyone?

[Vitaliy325]

Have you tried that battery out yet? Has anyone else ordered/used any of the extended batteries on ebay? For $16.99 shipped for a 2300mah battery, I'm thinking it might be worth the try? by ultra spikey

Ok, I've got the same one, I guess it went down in price, since then. I've got it as soon as it appeared on ebay




It works fine, yes you could probably say, that it's not as comfortable to type, as on the flat one, but I got used to it really quick, it was also quite awkard to type with the stock phone because of the chin, but you get used to it. The battery life is last 2 times of the orignal. Lasts fine all day, with extensive use. I got the phone for functionality as well, if i wanted something pretty, would of gotten iPhone, to bad that the google didn't make g1 out of solid metal, like Nokia 8800, would of looked great. Maybe will do it to my g1, just gotta find who can do it for me, I've heard there is special chrome paints for plastics...

Thats the battery I ordered. Once I get the battery, I'm thinking of taking my ebay plastic case, and cutting out the back (with a dremel) so that the hump would fit through it. That way I can still have the extended battery and case together. It would probably make the extended battery look smaller as well.

You wouldn't be able to do that with the seidio extended battery cover.

Anybody try this?
