 |  Treo 680 Extended Battery - Good or Not So Good? I've just upgraded to the 680 from a 650 and miss the battery life I used to have. Anyone have anything to say about the extended battery that you can purchase for the 680? Like? Dislike? How much more battery time does it provide? Thanks!! |

| i dislike the battery life on the 680...compared to my 650 the battery life on the 680 is damn horrible, i even downloaded the upgrage onto my phone and installed it and there was only a slight difference, i still have to charge it appoximately once every 1.5 days, unlike the 650 where i could have it going for like 5 days no problem... hopefully someone on here can provide a better way to keep battery life, or has some tips, cause i am so disappointed with the 680 battery life. does the 700 series have horrible battery life too?! |

| Yes, I would agree on the 680 battery life, that's why I ask the question on the extended battery available for purchase. If anyone can provide some information on it, it would greatly appreciated. |

| Howdy, Just got mine today. It is charging so I can't comment on life, but I do know this. It is huge. HUGE. Friggin Big. Much thicker than my 650. And the new battery door doesn't fit as well and is very thin plastic. Oh, and did I mention that this HUGE thing won't fit in any carrying case known to man (or woman)? I'll let you know later on battery life. |

| Howdy again. I like the new battery. It easily lasts twice as long as the original. No issues with it. And it does fit in the Covertec horizontal case... but it is a tight squeeze. My 680 no longer has Battery Envy when comparing to my old 650. |

If you don't want the fat cover and battery but would prefer the slim battery. Seido makes a 1600 mAh battery which is 25% more time. I think I saw an 1800 mAh battery too. Neither of which were very expensive. I use the Seido 1600 and it's great. | |
