buying a new battery..........

I was getting maybe 6 hours with the stock battery, and that bumped up to about 8 after putting Juice Defender on it. I didn't want to deal with swapping batteries during the day, and I can be away from the charger all day. So I went with a 3000 mah battery from ebay with the extended back cover. I have no complaints so far. If I charge it while I sleep I am good from when I get up around 7:00 AM to midnight and it just gets down into the orange zone. The back cover fits like the original cover. It's a bit heavier, and doesn't fit in the shirt pocket as well, but it meets my needs better than a stock battery, although I probably could get by with a stock battery and chargers at home, work, and in the car.
