Really? That's cool. Did you have to get a new battery door or does the original still fit>
Where did you purchase from and how much?

It's got a much better capacity, but if you're like me (aka a heavy user in an area with over 30% no-signal time) you're still looking at about 10-12 hours.

between $35-50 bucks depending if you have a coupon or getting straight up from Seidio.
Amazon has a 30 day return policy from shipment and Seidio only 14 day. Don't know about mygearstore I've just been seeing people purchasing from there.

Got mine from Amazon for $41. I love Amazons return policy, they have always been really good to work with. Made lots and lots of purchases from Amazon for that reason plus their prices are usually pretty competitive.

You can use codes "MyGear10" or "ItsMeMorphious" for 10%. Thats seems to be about the best I can find right now.
Mine Seidio has been charging for just under 11 hours now for the initial charge. Getting ready to take her for a test drive.

Curious to know your results.
Just to confirm, is this the battery you purchased?

I had to send mine back as it was reporting it was 'overheating' with a temperature of -49.4C. Should have arrived at Seidio today, now I get to wait 2-3 weeks while they test it and decide whether to send it back to me or give a replacement. This is a good reminder of how much more often I need to charge the stock battery!

I used one of them. Also I bought it around Mother's Day, which they had another coupon to stack up.

I got mine last Sat and left it on the charger for over 8hrs on the first day. Still on the fence about the performance though. I haven't gone through 5 charge cycle yet so I will give it a chance. I got around 12hr of up time yesterday with about 4 1/2 hrs of Awake time. I did stream about hour and a half of music, plus used it here and there (Gameboid, internet..etc) and at the end of the 12hrs I was at only about 10%..I am not sure if that's all that much better. Maybe streaming suck down the battery quite bit? Also, I have pretty bad signal at the office, so that might be the reason as well?

you need to give it 5 charges. Mine was the same way. After the first couple of charges i was disappointed. However, after about 4-5 charges it started to show what everyone else here was talking about. It is a nice improvement...not a massive increase...but worth the $31 spent.

By the way, streaming online radio KILLS the battery really quickly.
Thanks for expediting the replacement battery!

Yeah I will re-evalute the battery after I am done with my 4-5 charge cycle. I figure streaming would drain the battery pretty fast since it's pretty similar to download non-stop for an hour and we all know how bad 3G can drain the battery. I just hate seeing the battery go from full charge to 95% right off an overnight charge without doing anything. I am aware of the turning off the phone and charge trick, just hate doing it..hopefully HTC will fix this glitch on their next update, along with the weak antenna issue.

I had a full charge of 1750, it took about 4 hours of streaming to kill it, but im only on my 3rd charge.

Yup, so does Slimeball Speedway. Unfortunately I can't stop playing that stupid game.
I'm very happy with my battery. Got it from MyGearStore.com during the Mothers Day sale. I've had it since last Wednesday and I can really notice a difference.
