Anticipating BAD battery life for the Evo? Get a 3500mAh Battery
I?m picking up my Evo this Friday @ Radio Shack. Can?t wait!
I have a Sprint HTC Hero (1500mAh) and BB 9630 Tour (1400mAh) both with original batteries.
Both suck battery when using GPS, surfing etc. I anticipate the Evo to do the same with its original 1500mAh battery (same mAh as my Sprint Hero).
I don?t understand why phone manufacturers are so hung up on thin phones. If the screen is large and its capable of multimedia up the yin yang, why not equip it with a huge battery?? Or at least have an OEM extended battery option???
I don?t think any one of us cares if it?s a couple of mm thicker as long as it gets us through a solid day (or two) of heavy use. A sleek phone isn?t much good once it?s dead.
Sprint/HTC should have sacrificed svelteness, not battery life. Putting such a puny battery in the EVO is like putting a 10-gallon tank in a Farrari. I wouldn?t buy a car with a range less than 100 miles, and 16 hours for me is the practical minimum for a phone. And yes, I realize the Evo does more than most phones, but at the end of the day, it?s still my phone. I need it to work, worry-free.
The good news is that I think there's a solution...
Seidio will be making a Innocell 3500mAh Extended Life Battery that only adds 3-4mm to the Evo which I?ll be picking up as soon as it comes out. It has 133% more capacity than the original battery and comes with a black replacement door. I hope it matches the Evo well.
Sprint/HTC should have this as an OEM battery option.
