My coworker just called in a threatened to switch to a Blackberry because of the horrid battery they threw in here. And the T-Mobile Rep said that they were getting ready to ship out free "higher" capacity battery upgrades to all G1 users.

They said that this was due to a defect HTC found in the battery that was causing it to drain too fast. Me thinks that is another way of saying "shit, they're on to us, we knew we should have put a high-capacity battery in there and now we really have to respond to save this device from total demise." The battery really has been the achilles heel if there is one.

So, hopefully noone went out and bought the high-capacity battery.

I've been off the forum for awhile so hopefully this is still news. couldn't find it in any other posts.

It would be nice if it were true but I doubt it.... If it was they would have had to issue a press release or send notification to all those who purchased the phone through them so we would be expecting it.... they won't just send something to you and say "SURPRISE" we hope you like it... if they were going to do that they would have sent all pre ordered G1 owners like myself the headphone jack when it became standard to ship with all the new ones being sent now... But if they do send me one I'll buy you a beer.....
