Item arrived quickly and is working perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone trying to use their blackberry curve as a business tool. The standard curve battery holds a short charge compared to other blackberry's. This extended battery allows me to use my curve the same way I could use my 8800 blackberry (a couple of days between charges).

Let me say first that I love my Blackberry. That being said when left to do it's thing, the battery seems to be always on charge. Since I've purchased the Seidio Innocell Extended Life Battery I actually have my Blackberry untethered from an electrical outlet for days at a time. The battery gets stronger with each charge. The special back plate fits better than the original did and has a sleeker look and feel to it. All in all my only regret is not buying two so I could charge and swap!

After several days I finally received the extended life battery. It does make the phone a little thicker and slightly heavier but that was okay with me. I have found that it takes several hours to charge the new battery. I am getting about 24 hours in between charges. Would I buy it again? Probably not but it does hold the charge a little longer than the standard size battery.

My new battery has lasted 3 or more days before I have to recharge it. Great product.

This is a great battery upgrade!! The first day i used it i noticed a much, much longer talk time not to mention unbelievably long data transfer (web and BB messaging)usage with a minimal battery drain. The OEM battery would usually be dead or in the red at the best after 3 hrs of talk with any amount of data usage. After getting proper battery life by cycling it a few times to complete "shut off dead" i now get over 4hrs talk and can still have ample life left to do data transfer for reasonable amount of time. Just what i was looking for!!!! I can go for up to 4 days between charges if i use the phone sparingly too.....

I purchased this awesome battery about a week ago, it does everything it promises. The difference in battery life is just amazing. My old battery was admittedly going bad, I use the internet and text a lot, and from 6am(charged all night) to noon, the battery would be near dead. With the seidio it lasts all day, and isn't even half drained.

The only "con" is the extra thickness, but I don't like those plastic cases anyway and never used a dock.

This battery is exactly what I needed. I listen to Pandora on my BlackBerry during my bicycle ride to and from work and also while I'm at work all day. With this battery I can easily get two and a half days of use before having to charge the battery. I would highly recomend this product to anyone who uses their BlackBerry for alot of data. The only downside could be how the battery and the extended battery door increase the depth of the phone but, honestly I don't even notice.

First the good: This battery will keep your BB device working almost twice as long as the original. The bad: it adds significantly to the thickness and weight of the device. While the supplied cover does a nice job of making it look factory original, the significant extra thickness means the protective case is now useless (good luck finding one that works), the drop-in battery charger no longer charges (can't fit), and the phone is more prone to damage from being dropped (due to the extra weight). I'd much rather have a battery the size of the original, that provides say 30-50% extra life.
