Guys,

A friend of mine bought back the HTC extended battery from overseas. I am using it now. The cover that comes with it is sort of rubberised. Definitely not a finger magent. I think it is nicer to touch than the original cover that comes with it. The 'hole' for the camera is bigger. The cover itself is 3-4mm thicker and the phone feel heavier and one's preception is that it is more solid. As for the performance, for the old battery, at the end of the day, it's kaput. But with the extended battery, about 1 1/2 day of usage. The GPS, appears to be a fraction slower in locking but not a concern at all.

Overall, i like the extended battery. It definitely makes the diamond more usable.
