Q battery question. - Motorola Q Forum

Hi guys i just got my Q for sprint i love it so far. I have had it for 4 days now i got it on monday. I was wondering what some of your thoughts are on battery. I can usually get through a whole day when i am online IM'ing people for about an hour or so a day and send about 15-20 txts and 10-15 phone calls around 5-15 minutes each. But i can see my self needing either a second battery or an extended. I was wondering how much bulk exactly does the extended add to the phone? Is it worht it? or should i just get a second standard battery?. Also do you think i should stick with the OEM motorola battery or go with a seidio does it make a difference?

It's not bad at all. I was worried about the same thing. It doesnt make it really bulky at all. It's great though, being able to get through the whole day and have 2 bars at the end of the night. I figured if I want to go out for the night and have my slim smart phone, just switch out battery. Otherwise its worth buying. I believe i got my motorola extended battery and ext. battery door on ebay for 39.99

i actually think i am going to get the seidio 2100 mah battery it is $49.99 but it is also 50% more life than the motorola extended.

some have said that battery is so big that it seems like you taped a roll of pennies to the back of your Q. Can't find that post on here though.

Question is, does the Sprint Ext. Battery back support the 2100 seidio battery? If so, i want to purchase it.

Yes it does see

they say it is the SAME EXACT size as the OEM extended battery so it will fit with the sprint door ext. battery door but they offer a dark gray door now that will match the sprint phone. So i think i am going to pick that up.
