Do you think this battery would work?

Since the Rezound battery works in our precious T-bolts, and this is just a slim extended battery for the Rezound, would this battery work in our phones?

It most likely would, but I personally wouldn't waste my money on it. I've found that a lot of 3rd party batteries claiming to be of higher capacity are often of lesser quality, and just wear out a lot faster and don't really provide that much additional battery life.

Given that it it's not even designed to go in a Thunderbolt, I wouldn't take a chance on it.

Just my 2¢

Well there's a thread in the Rezound forums and the guy said he gets about 4 hours more on his Rezound, so I'd love to try this.

I'd try it for $4.50. But not for $45.00.

Here is a review of it, sounds good but pricey

It's so enticing. I love the slim profile of my phone.

Learning from first hand experience....don't buy chargers, batteries, headphones off the internet (eBay)...they are from China and the quality sucks.

I bought a extended battery and cover for $20....shipped. Put it on my phone...yeah, I got great battery life, but it killed my RADIO signal and I couldn't get anything....I live in Silicon Valley and outside walkking around I got barely anything....as soon as I puit my stock battery and cover on.....4 bars on the signal.

When it comes to the function of the phone...I won't buy anything but OEM....cases and music headphones....I will get at WalMary or Target.

I would persoanlly order teh REZOUND battery from the Verizon website.

I'm assuming that's because the battery door had poor or no metal contacts for the radios... I would be using the stock thunderbolt battery door.

I'm just not sure if I want to spend the money on this guy, the extended battery and new case for a bit more, or the Rezound battery and maybe a few hours increase.

I'm not convinced that it has more capacity than the stock Rezound battery. The seido 1600 mAh "slim extended" thunderbolt battery was tested and found to be the exact same capacity as the stock 1400 mAh battery, it's probably a similar situation with this.

I'll probably just get the Rezound battery... Can you get it half price in stores?
