Yeah, the battery life is not too good. But it's tiny after all. I was looking at getting an extra battery. This one: "Seidio Innocell 1750mAh Extended Battery for Verizon HTC Droid Eris" at HTC Depot is $49.95. On eBay, I can get 2 batteries and a wall charger for around $11. But I have a case for the phone and it looks like opening it up every day to change batteries would wear it out very quickly. Does anyone know of an external battery with a (short) cord to the USB/charge port? That could be 4 times the size of an internal battery and still fit in my pocket. (OK, bulky, but still....) Thanks, I love this forum. How do folks who don't use this site get their phones to work? LOL
