Default Extended battery...??

Has anybody found any extended batteries? The battery is killing me with this phone. Almost every day my device is dead an hour or two before I go home from work. I have a touchstone mounted on my dash, which is friggin wonderful but unfortunately I'm not always in car, or around a computer or wall. I went to Sprint and the rep told me he has no idea if they are even going to make one. I also did a few searches on google and no dice? If anybody finds a site please let me know!

There is a company called Seidio that claims it is coming out with a 1150 mAh battery which is twice the capacity of the original battery..

Innocell Extended Life Battery

I wonder how bulky it will make it

oh it says "Extends the depth of your device by only millimeters"

I have the 1350, gives just a bit more juice, but I think optimizing your settings (i.e. how often you select to retrieve email, WiFi on or off, etc) makes a bigger difference in usage times IMHO.

The extended life battery that is coming out is probably somewhere in the 2000+mAh range and will be bigger than the stock battery and will probably come with a modified back cover. No word on whether the new back cover will work with touchstone though.

2600mAh. And all I read a few reviews, and the size screws with the camera ( flash shows in the pic. as a blur)

You have already mentioned the 1350Extended battery. This is supposed to be a 10-15% increase in charge and that can be had here for $44.95

There is a kit out by the same company that sells a 2600 extended battery, which requires you to replace the back plate on the Pre. It makes it a bit bulkier, but it claiming a 126% increase in charge. This can be had here for $64.95

My cousin has one. He digs it. Can go for a day and a half without charging. Maybe longer if he's not playing with his phone a lot.
