I have it, but can't really tell yet! I doubt its going to be much of a difference. Now an 1800mAh battery from HTC express would make for a nice difference.
I would too if it was confirmed to really be 1800 mAh and not just marketing puffery like the Seidio. Does HTC Express have a better rep than Seidio?I would jump on an 1800mAH battery in a second if it didn't require a new (larger) battery door. Has an 1800 been confirmed by HTC Express, or are you just assuming?

There are a couple of people on the forums that have delt with them in the past, and say they are very reputable. Someone, I can't remember which member said he spoke to someone within the company VIA email and they did in fact say they would be producing something for the TB within the next few weeks. I don't doubt it, they already have batteries available for the incredible, EVO, and a few others, so I just think its a matter of time.
So I charged with the Seidio overnight to 100%. I got in the car and ran navigation using the dock. After my 30 minute commute (with lots of rerouting, I deliberately used a bogus destination to test the Nav program) I was down ~30%. I'm down another 30% after two hours in the office with the hotspot and bluetooth on.

We'll see how things go from here.
FWIW

Well thats discouraging,...I assume this is as bad, or worse than the stock battery for you?

4G or 3G?
Ok I used the Siedio 1600 battery for a few days...sorry to report that it is not any better then the stock, IMO its actually worse then the stock 1400mAh battery. I know it can sometimes take a week or so to condition, but after 2 days of a ton of charges, and bump charges, I can only squeeze about 4 hours out of it. However I'm getting almost 8 hrs out of my stock with hardcore heavy use, and about 10/11 hrs with moderate use.
Just from my expierence I got a Seidio 1750 for my Incredible and the first week and a half was awful worse then stock but after abou t10days it blew away the stock 1300 and slightly edged out the 1500mah from the EVO
I then for about 3months would alternated between the EVO 1500 and the Seidio 1750 and while very close to the same it always seemed like the Seidio was lasting about 2-4 hrs longer then the EVO battery .
I'd say give it another week of use and then report back.
EDIT :: I wanted to clarify something before i get the hundreds of Seidio haters jumping down my throat this was just a observation that I saw using both batteries and that small increase in life I got wasn't enough to justify buying a battery that's $30-$40 more then an OEM one
dmunz, are you using it with wifi and bluetooth on? Any push email, such as Gmail or Exchange? What brightness is your screen set at?
