I got my extended battery yesterday and also switched to froyo - so I do not know whether it is the battery or 2.2 - but I also did not get very good battery life. I am draining it today to fully recharge and try taking the battery out and reloading it - won't hurt anything even if it doesn't work. The battery stats show that the biggest drain on mine is the display - and I have it set at 30% brightness - so I do not think it is set excessively bright. I do love the slim form factor but I also like the slight extra weight.
for those who had it on back order, did you get the corporate discount and 30% off? I've been trying to order it online so i can get the stacked discount but it won't let me. waah
I got hosed with my battery! I was talking to my brother today who also has an X. The day all the action was happening, I ordered mine, then told him about it. He was still at work so he didnt order until about 2 hours later....well guess what? He got his battery yesterday and I got my backorder notice yesterday. wtf? We live only like 10 miles from eachother, so that shouldnt effect anything. I called to ask about it and the lady told me that depending on who your corporate discount thru a different "team" processes the orders....apparently my "team" is either more busy than his....or lazier I really wanted the battery before I go on vacation next week
I just have to ask, because I have seen two sides of the fence on this one....

Opinions? Comments? Concerns? Anything would help
I wouldn't risk it. Really not worth it. Just get another phantom skin for the back piece of the new battery door. The new battery with the standard door puts too much pressure on the screen. Just a little pressure and you can see the rainbow effect immediately.
You could get away with it, but if you want your X to last, I would advise against it.
Just my 2
