just took delivery of the Verizon 2150mAh battery with case and contrary to what i'd initially thought after seeing the photos; i find myself actually preferring the extended back to the original!

where the original INC is very sleek, it was just too thin for my taste and just didn't hold in my hand as surely as the new back. Now, with the case extended; there is a bit more to grab and it's even more assuring to hold and not be worried about accidentally dropping it.

don't know about actual up time yet, but will have that after a few cycles.

If i find that the battery does indeed provide a substantial increase in uptime, i'll be putting my OEM 1500mAh and Seidio case up for sale; $40 for both.

That's good news I'm glad at least someone likes it. I'll get mine around Wednesday I'm hoping its ok as I do cringe at those photos

[iJason#WN]

Awesome news! Mine should be in tomorrow! I can't wait to get it. I don't care how it looks, I need more JUICE!

FYI, that lil nub on the back is a magnet for my car mount btw

Wow that almost doubles the size of the phone!!! But like others have said I would choose battery life over looks any day.

I like it... thanks for posting pictures! I'm glad I ordered one as well

Nice. I'm used to blackberries with a slightly thicker form factor. For that reason, I prefer using my incredible in a case. It just feels too thin without it. How much thinner do we really want out phones to be? Try holding a credit card to your face because it looks like that's where we're heading.

I'm hoping to get mine in on Wednesday. I absolutely love this phone...just need the better battery and it'll be perfect.

[markhunsaker]

I still think I'm sending it back. Mine comes tomorrow...anyone to trade mine huge extended battery and door for their 1750?

[TreyDay]

where did you get that battery????

[magellanous]

Call Verizon tech support. They have them in stock. I called the customer service number and they redirected me to tech support. Also got free second day shipping.

[the337]

looking at that side view doesn't make it look nearly as bad as it does from looking at it from the back. i'm interested to see your reports on battery life and does the new back hinder the camera at all?

[iJason#WN]

Has anyone had the battery for a few days and can post a review for us potential buyers?

[XXXdc5]

HOLY ****!!!

man thats A$$ ugly. i'll go ahead and stick with my 1750 which now performs amazingly after it had time to cycle through a few charges.

What kind of battery life/usage are you getting with the 1750?

edit- I dont' think the 2150 looks that bad and think I would prefer the additional battery life over the size.

[snookiesnoo]

Jesus that looks horrible.

[makya53]

mark,i just ordered mine because I still can't make it a day with my 1750..

Really? I can make it a day on the stock battery...but it's close.

Mine is on the charger @ lunch but I take it off the charger @5am.

[Rippin508]

It actually doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.

[Rippin508]

Forgot, my 2150 comes tomorrow. Ordered it last Friday.

[techjpo]

When I first got my 1750, I thought I was going to need something like this 2150 because it just didnt seem that much better than the stock one, but after 5-6 full charge/discharge cycles, the 1750 has been great. I take my phone off the charger at 6:30am and make it 11:30 pm with no issues. Primarily lots of email , text, gvoice, seismic, and doubletwist podcasts. Bummed to hear you are only getting to lunch, maybe you got a bad battery.

[Qazme]

I concur with the others who don't like it. That thing is pretty bad looking. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be, think I'll stick with the 1750 it does just fine for me

[chomsky1]

Oof, what a monstrosity. Every shred of elegance gone in favor of a few hours of battery life...hope it makes that hunchback worth it for you. I can see why they weren't in a big hurry to get that thing out in the wild. To each his own...
