People should stop paying $50 for a battery for their cellphone, manufacturers like this make a ton... they spend a tiny amount on R&D because it's just a copy of the OEM, and then mark up a $3 battery to $50 and people fall for it not realizing what a crappy deal it is.

Well, that was one harsh post, but I'll have to go along with it. I ordered a couple of OEM batteries and a double duty charger last week. I had been considering the Seidio 1500mAh battery, but I figured 200% power (two OEM batteries) for $30 was a much better deal than 125% for $45.
Of course that means I'll have to carry the phone
and the extra battery around, but I don't need all that power for everyday use. I just need it on trips and field days, like the one I had recently, when I couldn't take all the pictures I wanted because the one battery I had was not enough. These batteries are small and thin enough, I won't mind carrying one around in my pocket or two in a bag/suitcase.
