Accessories 2000MAH same size, best battery?

I bought an 1800 mah battery from ebay that I used for the first time last nite. I got almost 22 hours of moderate usage on it. I expect that time to get better as the battery gets conditioned. I paid 7.88 for it with free shipping.:D

Just bought the same one..It's so cheap even if it only gives me equal charge time it's worth it to have a spare.

I'm actually really interested in the 2000mah performance, since it's still a slim battery (I'd rather not go with the 3000mah that'll add a good amount of bulk). I bought 2 red 1800mah batteries from ebay and I can't really notice any difference from the OEM battery.

Has anybody purchased this 2000mah battery yet, to see if it is actually that much better?

i found a couple of 1800mAh galiliO batteries on eBay and i remember these getting really good reviews in the past for the G1 and what nots. Any one pulled the trigger on these guys to tell me if they're good? I'm still getting a full day use out of my OEM battery, but I am going out of town a lot and spend a great deal of time away from a power source, getting some slim (yet more mAh) batteries seems like the best bet, but I don't wanna keep 10 dollar batteries if it's a waste...

Also, i'm not going to get a 3000mAh battery because they make your phone look like a bigger uglier iPhone2G, and i really like my case i have on it....

I bought these off ebay. The batteries give about the same life as the OEM. I haven't done any official testing, but I've been using them for about 2 weeks now. I rotate them with the OEM battery and I don't notice any difference in performance. However, yesterday the charger broke. The outlet for the charger flips up to insert into the wall and then you can flip it down if you're not using it so it will sit flat on a surface. Unfortantely, the little outlet prongs are very flimsy and one of them broke and disappeared into the charger itself so it can't be fixed. Extra batteries aren't very useful if you have to charge them in the phone anyway :-(
