Extended Battery Question

Hey Y'all! I just got my Thunderbolt a few days ago and I knew that the battery life wouldn't be that great. I'm highly interested in getting an extended battery or a battery with more "juice".
This may sound weird but I was wondering if there was a hump-less extended battery?
I love my TBolt but I have small hands and I held a TBolt with an extended hump battery at the VZW store and it's cutting it close in size. Since I can't make my hand bigger do I have any options??? I have 3 Incredible batteries laying around but of course they aren't compatible and I knew that before I made the switch.
Thanks in Advance - Ms. Small Hands :(
 
You can get the 1700mAh battery. It uses the stock HTC battery cover. It has a little more juice than the stock battery. It's red, they sell them in pairs with charger on Amazon.
 
This Guy has no trouble with the extended battery

I spent the $60+ on the extended battery. But you honestly don't even need it if you just root your phone. The main reason I rooted was because I found out that VZW stock apps known as bloatware were causing most of the battery drain. When you root, you can easily and safely freeze these apps and your battery life will instantly increase.
If you're interested in rooting, I would use thunderboltforums.com. their mods and rescue squad will make the process simple and easy
 
I'm not ready to root yet. My TBolt is just a baby. It took me me a few months to root my Incredible. The I need to study and be 100% confident before I root. I've only had the phone for a few days. My battery life was so much better on my Incredible rooted with CM7

If you do decide to root, apparently you have to do it before the next OTA update
Actually I think the OTA is already available....

You have to root before the GB OTA which is not available if you think it is feel free to post a link
