4.0 out of 5 stars MONSTER JUICE FOR YOUR G1, May 31, 2009

I received this battery over a week ago and, so far, I'm impressed.

The first thing I did notice when I opened the box is that it was a Cameron Sino and NOT a Seidio Innocell battery. This bothers me very little as I am accustomed to receiving or purchasing products in this manner. The packaging was easy to open which is a huge plus for me (getting cut trying to open sealed plastic cartons just pisses me off)!

I was fortunate enough to get the raised cover when the other reviews I've read recv'd the one thar has a hump on it.

But enough about that, let's get down to it. This battery, when set on 3G networks, can last you literally, LITERALLY all day. Add'l setting possibly longer depending on individual use.

This is an account of my daily use:

>2 hrs of music streaming w/light web browsing
>3-4 hrs of personal and business calls (all our Nextel phones are busted)
>2 more hrs of music streaming + web browsing on the way home leaving about 18% juice. Sweeett!!

I have two suggestions for furure updates to this wonderful product. 1. The exposed opening for the camera lens could use a clear, protective cover. If anything sharp or wet goes down there, you're screwed. 2. There should be some sort of sound port for the speaker as well. Reason being is the sound coming from the old cover is a lot louder (swap out the covers and hear for yourself).

Overall, this is a great product and would recommend this to anyone. That is, if you can overlook THOSE two imperfections.

It doubles the capacity and comfortably takes me through the day with all guns fiiring. Previously I have to compromise on many things and still was left stranded. Few things that I tested:
Typical usage - phone calls + email + 1 hour audio (3G always on) 2 days
Heavy usage: 5 hours of streaming music on wifi
Medium Heavy usage: 1 hour of streaming audio +1 hour of Camera + 1 hour of GPS + 2 hours of browser + regular phone usage and at the end battery still showed 35%.

Also, the charging time via wall charger is same as for the regular battery; however, USB charging via computer takes considerably longer.

In short a great product for unbelievable price. I also like somewhat the bulk it adds. Just make the phone more easy to handle. G1 PHONE was anyhow never a slimline product and it is not that few mms will no more render it pocketable. Actually after a while you do not notice it anymore. However, it adds somewhat to weight which I felt for a week but now it does not feel much different or bothersome. Ofcourse your iPhone friend would immediately dismiss it as 'too bulky'
In my case if I had not gotten the extended battery I'd have to shelve the product. Whenever I needed the damn thing it was without juice. What was the point of 3G, GPS, streaming radio, push email when you do not backup it with adequate battery power?

The model in the photo and the one I received are different.

First, the bad. The battery in the photo gives you the idea it is a quality battery and the one received is noticeably made in China.

Now the good and the ugly. The back is also not the same. In the photo the entire backing is raised. On the one I received it looks more like Quasimodo. A hump in the back. While some what ugly and misshapen the ridge created fits perfectly against the ring finger when holding it. So in effect it is like having a little anchor point to your hand and you don't have to grasp it by the sides any longer.

So over all I am happy. I'll be back if the battery doesn't hold a good charge over time.
