HTC Tilt Extended Battery

This is the first post regarding my HTC Tilt.  Yes, it is a few years old now.  Yes, I think it is actually possessed by the Devil.  However, it works and I'm not quite ready to upgrade.

The battery life with the standard battery is so bad that it will not last a full day without recharging.  This has forced me to carry around 2 batteries and swap them partway through the day.  All was good until I broke some of the tabs off the rear cover so it hangs open.

As I researched new doors, I noticed I could buy a new rear cover for $15, or get an extended battery + cover for $17.  The problem is that this adds about 5mm to the size of the phone.  I decided to take the plunge.

Welcome to 1985 with the mega sized phones.

I've had the new battery for about 3 days now and it is awesome!  The battery lasts about 1.5 days and the bulk isn't *that* bad.  Now, if only it came with some holy water & a wooden cross then it could have exercised the demons in the phone too.

The only thing I wish it had was a plastic cover over the camera lens like the original had.  However, the camera isn't that great to begin with so I don't use it for serious pictures anyway.

If you have an AT&T Tilt / HTC TYTN II 8925 and are in the market for a new battery, check them out here:
