Ditto. Also did the *22899 and it said it was activating it, not sure if that was what I needed.

Well that pretty much answers a question about whether the update included the latest PRL. Mine is 52522 which came out just before the update.

Those of you who say your battery might be a little worse, have you updated your PRL? I know that helped me.

Thank you just updated prl and voice seems better.

My phone easily last a whole day and more. This is the best update I've ever seen for a phone when it come to improving battery life.

How often do prl updates come out?

Battery life if definitely better, but I still think there is much room for improvement. I have the extended battery and it lasts all day, but is in the red when I plug it in most nights. I consider myself a moderate user.

About 1.5mm. It's not much at all, and honestly, only a stickler would complain about it. It still fits in the stock car dock no problem, but some very tight cases might have issues.

The only way i can tell is there's about a .5-1mm lip going above the camera bay. Normally it's flush.

I have seen pics of the extended battery and cover and to me it looks like you can't tell the difference. I used to have HTC and those extended batteries totally changed the look of the phone.

If you order from Verizon, they send you a replacement back cover for the phone. Honestly, I can't tell any difference in the thickness at all. It seemed at the time that I put it in, the phone was slightly heavier, but I don't even notice that now.

Extended battery from Verizon makes life sweet.

Right now, my D3 has been off charge for almost 9 hours, and is at 80%...waaay better than it was pre-update. Before, it would be around 50-40% at this point. Awesome update!
