So, I’m not the only one for whom Thunderbolt spontaneously reboots. Ugh! As for the 2800mAH, I’ve found them for $20, but doubling the width of the phone is ridiculous.

Obviously, Gawker was being facetious about using seven batteries a day, but I bought two extra for those times I need to use a lot of data and can’t recharge for awhile.

No, this is an issue for everyone who uses this phone as they should. Larry Klemmer makes a great point about its constant searching for 4G. To counter this, I added LTE OnOff to switch to CDMA when I’m not using data. But it doesn’t do it automatically when not using the phone, kind of a flaw.

Also, HTC loads a bunch of crap that always runs in the background (Stocks, for instance) that you can’t keep from loading automatically. You can’t even uninstall them unless you root the phone. For this reason alone, I’ll never buy another HTC again (unless iPhone does the same thing).

This is exactly why I find the battery life drain so infuriating, all it takes to avoid draining the T-bolts battery life is a little intelligence, so why isn’t it just built into the phone?

Will this battery fit the EVO?

That’s great but where the hell is the 2800mAh? I’d take one of those for $20 in a heartbeat. I’m sorry, but it just is not feasible to remove the battery door and swap every 4hrs AND have to purchase yet another charger. No thanks!

While we’re at it… where’s my Gingerbread? where’s my HDMI dock? Where’s my Netflix? Where’s my random reboot fix? Where’s my MyVerizon app? Where’s my Vcast Tones?

Hell of a flagship!! The 4G is truly amazing though, I hit 11Mbs down Saturday evening in Tampa.

Just like with the Droid bundle a while back, you have to make sure you are logged out of your Verizon account in order to get the best discount. It worked for me after that.

If this was for the 1700mAh battery i’d be all over it, but my battery usually lasts all day so it’s not a big deal for me..

I think I’m going to go on eBay to get a standalone wall charger and then buy one of these batteries. Sounds like a deal to me.

We got a free battery from Verizon, my wife called and explained that the battery life for her thunderbolt was horrible, and they sent us a new battery free of charge.

If that’s true for you then you’re clearly doing something wrong.
