I got a new phone yesterday and it was down to the Maxx or the Nexus. I always root and play around with the phone and seriously considered the Nexus but it just can’t compare to the Maxx. After having the Thunderbolt last and constantly tweaking and having to slow the processor down, experiment with kernels, and have a dark screen all the time just to make it 6-8 and sometimes 10 hours. No thanks. That phone is way too much money to have not considered a longer lasting battery made out of the newest materials available. It wouldn’t have changed the phone much to have put a large flat battery in there for the long haul. DISAPPOINTING.

If you’re reading this, save yourself the trouble and just get the Maxx or wait a week to a month and get the Razr HD. Life will be that much better.

and really for the size, I had the otter case and with the case gone the size is about the same as when I had the otter case on. and for a case phone is naked and slides into the standard holster without the part around the phone. Weight not a issue.

Just got this battery on Friday, was expensive, but if it last then it is worth it. I started this morning at 9am and at 11pm it said connect my charger, 14 hours, not tied to a charger. worth it? I think so.

I have the non-NFC version, and placed my order for this one. For you folks who can plug in often, or live in a 3g-only area, the standard (or regular extended) battery might be great. If you’re in a 4g area and the normal-looking batteries work for you, even better. I need my phone to work all day without a recharge, and the standard size batteries don’t last. I would rather not carry an spare. And I don’t like the idea of having bare contacts floating around in my pocket.

An in all fairness, once you have it on the phone it’s really not that ugly, IMO. The tapered top looks a lot better than the huge bump I had on my Thunderbolt. It’s also handles nicely. For me, it’s not uncomfortable at all.

It IS expensive, but I need the juice and if I considered the cost over two years, it’s really not that bad.

I bought the Anker external batter charger instead so I charge my phone multiple times.

You couldn’t be more right, vitriolix. I can’t imagine taking one of these out in public. What a turn off. I think it’s an Apple plot to help sell more iPhones!
Like you, I would never buy a phone with a sealed case without a changable battery. A battery sway on the GNexus is so easy, why would anyone want to carry around a phone with this extended battery.

i purchased another extended battery so i wouldn’t have to deal with that monstrosity. that’s like turning your phone into the hunchback of notre dame. and no one wants that.

That’s what I did with my OG Droid and that is what I am doing with my Nexus. I never plug into a charger really. Have a charger for my extra battery and the dead one goes in every night. Go thru a battery a day.

I seriously thought it was a joke the first time they talked about, making fun of the battery hog this phone. I actually didn’t think it was real because it is so ridiculous.
