    I got the Seidio extended battery at http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductD...AC26TR800%2DDG. The holding power of this battery tremendous. The hump back cover may not look great, but it really provides a good means of holding the device - it fits very well in the palm. It will also fit in the standard Palm branded horizontal leather case.

    I also purchased the extended battery from Seidio. I can't really tell how fast the thing drains because the battery meter doesn't seem to report it accurately. However, I've had it in all day, running bluetooth for most of the day, along with run the Live Messenger client all day, and my usual daily activity and it didn't seem to phase this battery at all. I suspect the Seidio specs of 9 hours talk time is probably pretty accurate. The included hump backed back cover is painted to match the 800w, and it actually is easier to install and remove than the stock cover. Seidio did a nice job in my opinion.

    Love my Seidio extended battery! Ok price, great quality and they ship super fast from Texas.....when you order, make sure to get you a metal stylus to replace that flimsy plastic one. Their styli are great as well.

    I saw that one....supposed to be 10% better than the OEM battery and fits in the same space....but for $10 difference I will take the 33% more efficient battery...even if it bulges the back a little. At least I have a little more to hang on to.

    For those who can't spare the space, this is a great alternative. Just a little expensive.

    Correction: Seidio says it has up to 15% more capacity than the stock battery.

    well it less of a bump than what they are charging for the 750 extended same size as the original battery for the 750 49.99 If they come out with the 6.1 update for the 750 I may keep the 750 and get the larger capacity/same size battery for the 750. If not its probably the pro or new epix from samsung.

    No worries. I just wanted to clarify because if I were uninformed, the difference between 10% and 15% might make the difference in whether I'd purchase it or not.
