extended battery
does anyone know how much longer the standby and talk times r on the extended batt. and does anyone know if there is one that wont make the battery protrude making the phone bigger

I would get one day standby with the standard battery... Two with the extended... Doesn't matter if I use the phone 10 minutes or 2 hours a day...
Weird.. Isn't it...

Yes it is. I have exchanged my phone once. I am getting much better batter life with the second phone. I just have the standard battery, and am getting two days on a charge. I average 65 minutes per day talk time.

standard battery: 191 talk.
extended battery 250 talk.
Certain features(EV-DO,MP3, etc.) may use more power and cause actual standby and usage time to vary.
The extended battery is slightly larger and if bought through VZW & LG it comes with the battery cover.
