Accessories Extended battery

[TPNielsen]

Hey everybody!

I was wondering if any had tried this type of extended batteries for the HTC Hero:

I would just like to hear your experiences with it - is it too bulky, does it look crappy, or is just perfekt? I really want a new extented battery life for my phone, so i need your help!

Cheers...

I would say it looks crappy!

There are extended batteries you can get that don't extend the case but obviously don't give you as much extension!

I bought a 3000mAh battery a while ago, which looks pretty much identical to yours. It's great to have that extra juice, and it's perfect for long trips away from a plug socket.

But for every day use? Way too bulky, and it looks and feels pretty bad.

I might buy an extended but normal sized one. Anyone know the highest capacity available in normal sized batteries?
