I just upgraded by Bionic

[SSHGuru]

From the extended Battery to the Standard.

Wow, what a difference.

Better our worse?

 

[SSHGuru]

Way better. The extended was bulky and really increased the weight.

The phone feels way better with the standard.

Also with the extended I never went below 70% anyway so clearly I don't need it.

Works you also say its better in battery life the standard battery that its?


Never mind I just read you're post did you use a car dock with you're extended battery?

 

[SSHGuru]

Of course the extended had better battery life but it's not worth the bulk.

wana sell the extended battery/cover?

 

[SSHGuru]

How much?

I totally see what you're saying, but personally I like the added bulk. It's not THAT much, especially compared to other ext. batteries, and I have a bad habit of putting things on my lap and forgetting them when I stand up, so it's nice to have that added weight to remind me not to be a dumb ass. I do love the way the standard battery feels and I especially love that my silicone case fits it perfectly, but now I have 0 worries about battery life, can have everything sync constantly, and won't stand up with something nice on my lap, sending it flying, only to crash hard.

I thought you hated your Bionic anyways? Just sell it on Ebay and apply that money to the extra $9.99 a month for getting a new line w/ a new phone. I think you're aware of what's around the corner.

When I took the bulk off it made a huge difference for me personally. I prefer thin and light. I can understand why some people like you would want it though.

I do like the Bionic. Don't get me wrong. I would just have preferred the RAZR. A new line wouldn't give me unlimited data like my grandfathered line so it's not a solution.

Well actually in my case with the X2 I just opened a new line with the Bionic and put an old phone on the X2 line and was still grandfathered in with the new one. She originally said I wouldn't be, but then said I would. I think they just say you won't honestly, but for now you still can be. I've also read of this happening to a few others.

OR

You can open a new line with whatever phone you want, then put an old phone on THAT line and put the new one on your Bionic line. This should be even more of a guarantee you'll get unlimited. I did the first option though about a week after release and have unlimited. You'll also have freed up your Bionic to then sell it. Throw in the extended battery and you'll get a better offer. Just sayin...

 

[SSHGuru]

The cost of a new line would just be too much. I am still going to try to get them to do the right thing and exchange it.

 

[k1ngr4t]

Lol, there is no doing the right thing in the corporate world of smartphones. Sorry dude. What you'll get for the Bionic will definitely cover the new line plus a little extra to put towards whatever (as long as you don't spend it all at once). I hear ya though, I hated my X2, so just trying to help out.

Now IF the update didn't fix the main issues, which I'm SURE it will, I will personally lead a revolution against VZW to "do the right thing." Hey it worked in Libya, why not Verizon!

I just ditched my extended battery as well....I didn't mind it at first but the more I played with the phone the more I hated the extra bulk. The phone feels fantastic with the standard battery after being used to the extended one. Battery life isn't the greatest obviously, I could go a full day of moderate usage on the extended, but with the standard I had to go buy a second battery with the battery dock. Much happier now.
