I wouldn't go down the path of a battery pack that hooks up via USB though. Running batteries in parallel is the way to go, rather than having the USB piggyback battery trickle charge the on-board battery to death :P

I'm guessing that this will probably require a recalibration of the battery sensor, but I need confirmation that this is possible

I like the idea of a thicker phone for extended battery life. I always thought that they should have sacrificed another mm or two to pack at least 1500mah battery in there.

Alternately I would go down the path of two batteries, but with a modified back that allows for quick battery swaps instead of packing both in there.
