You will enjoy an extended battery because first thing you will notice is that
you are not having to charge it so often, like the OEM battery. IMHO the
yellow OEM battery is underpowered for what it is supposed to do.
I suspect that RIM put such a small battery in the phone so to keep the
weight of the phone down so they could advertise just how light it is. An
extended battery takes away that feature, even the medium 1250 battery.
When RIM wanted to market ounces, they saved weight wherever they could.
Personally, I'd like to see a beefed up Pearl, thicker plastic, more metal, a
bigger battery, and sturdier mechanisms.
