I have a question for you all. I had an HTC EVO on Sprint before I ported over to Verizon and was wondering. Will the extended life battery I have for the EVO fit into the Thunderbolt and the back cover line up?

I am thinking no because based on pictures the back kick stand looks thicker on the Thunderbolt than the EVO but I thought I would ask.

Thanks.

I remember reading that the batteries are different

EVO battery size is not the same as the Thunderbolt's. Wirefly.com did an unboxing vid that compared the two.
