with the release upon us (surely, verizon can't mess this up...), i've got a question for the group. I'm certain I want to buy a battery, and from the accessories we've seen it looks like we have two options:

1) the bigger battery: 2150mah
2) same sized battery with charger.

Setting price issues aside, which do you think makes more sense? Of course it'd be nice to have a larger battery, but i like the idea of being able to charge two batteries at the same time, which means if i wanted i could always have access to a fully charged battery.



any thoughts?

I've always been big on just getting an external charger and extra battery and against the extended battery but I'm thinking diffrently now

The extended battery while only like 15% more capacity will forsure be all the battery I need and it barely makes it any bigger infact I thought I saw somewhere saying the extended battery will actually fit under the stock door. Either way I'll be getting the 2100mah battery and when I can find a cheap external charger I'll get that to charge the standard battery as a back up or if I find a great deal on the dock later I'll pick that up . either way I'm stoked and can't wait to get my nexus

Did you just call the generic VZW number? Did they bump up your upgrade without having to order it for you over the phone? Like the moved your upgrade and said "Ok go ahead and order it online when it is on the website"?

I actually called my local store, and they were all busy, so it transferred to a call center. Then they transferred to customer service. I said I wanted it upgrade eligible because I wanted to order online tonight (I'm really going to go into the store tomorrow), and she had her manager approve.

it now shows my account as upgrade eligible.

I think you should be able to call customer service to get it done, just say you want to order online tonight when the release goes live.

I'm wondering if the extended battery will fit into the TPU case I already have.

I see many people thanking the Mods and everyone else, and while they deserve a HUGE ton of thanks for keeping everyone in order and keeping this place great, there is one person I think we should all thank...

THE SOURCE!

For keeping us all in the loop, risking his/her job to do so, not getting angry with us when some of us didn't believe them, not getting frustrated by our rants, and for understanding our passion for this device!

And of course, the regular cast of characters that has kept this place fun and entertaining! Too many to list! We should ALL give ourselves and each other rounds of applause and apple sauce and praise! We made it!

Thanks again everyone, this place was fun.
