Not for nothing but,......... That is pretty Damn ugly! I mean, yeah sure it's twice the battery but damn! They could not design it any better than that? I'd like the extended battery but NOT if it means making my Droid look like a jerry rigged POS.
I agree with Tuktanuk. I have no interest in buying the extended battery if it one will not work in the car dock and two not work in the media station dock. The battery life is horrible and needs to be addressed. VZW should give extra batteries as they did with the VZW Boulder.
Your statement is just plain wrong. Verizon sure as hell doesn't owe us free batteries. Battery doors, yes, but not batteries. The droid is a very advanced multitasking smartphone. Considering all the things it can do, the battery performance is perfectly acceptable. I am guessing the droid is your first real smartphone. If battery life is your top priority, get a dumbphone because your requirements for battery life don't exist in the smartphone world.
