Ok, I know there are a bunch of accessory threads out there, but I figured this might help some people whom prefer their accessories the cheapest they can get them (like me )

I'll compile a list of some of the cheapest stuff I've found here, and hopefully it will benefit some of you, as it has me. Feel free to add any other cheap accessories you may have found.

Note: I am not taking credit for the majority of these.

HTC Hero 1500 maH Battery:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Hero-A6277-...geNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ht_720wt_1137

$6.97, free shipping.

(Note: It also includes an HTC Hero battery door, but this is the cheapest I have been able to find OEM batteries. I have exchanged several messages with the seller and she has assured me that these are in fact OEM batteries and mentioned to me that she tests each battery before shipping them out.)

I was also able to talk her into selling me 2 batteries for $10 shipped without the Hero battery door, so perhaps some of you may be able to do the same. I intend to rely mostly on the stock battery and use these as back-ups.


3.5 mm Stereo Plug:
For only $0.88 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 3.5mm Stereo Plug/Plug M/M Cable - 12ft | 3.5mm Audio M/M Cables

Sale price is $1.02.
Total came out to be $3.09 shipped.

(They have other smaller sizes, but none in stock until 6/11)

 

For the cheapest, smallest cable, yes. But the cable I posted is 10 feet long. Monoprice's 10 feet cable came out to be $3.42 shipped to me, less than a dollar saved, but still just a bit cheaper.

 

The Hero battery has already been verified to work with the EVO, I have already received the batteries from that seller and while I have no EVO to test out yet, the batteries do have the "HTC Innovation" letters that is typical of the OEM battery.

Unless a third-party managed to copy the exact image and place it exactly in the same position as the OEM batteries, it's the real thing. No hackage required or anything.

 

I updated the link. It should work now.

In case you have further trouble with it, the seller's name is lifestylesell

 

Just as a side note, I would stay away from anything Amzer or Fomy. I've looked up some of their products, and the majority seem to garner mediocre reviews. Doesn't seem worth it even for the cheap price.

 

No, unfortunately. I should have rephrased my words to say "It should be the real thing".

Buying anything from ebay is always a risk, and it would be foolish to guarantee anything, but to me, the low-cost risk of spending $10 for two batteries was worth it. If you're interested, I would send her a message for further info.

Granted, this is the internet, but she seemed to be genuine and was willing to answer all my questions and concerns in a timely manner.

 

Unfortunately, the only thing I have with a camera right now is a mediocre Samsung Rant, so the pictures suck, but here's a couple:
