I don't have first hand experience but from a logical analysis I can see that the extender costs $9 and a new battery (non-OEM) costs about $20. Now a new battery will give you at least about 50% of the battery life of the original Pxxx battery. See eBay for Pxxx batteries. I have owned two and as long you remember to condition them they seem okay.

"spaceial material"?
"removes slugs" ?

sounds to me like one of those reception-enhancers and radiation-blockers and penis enlargement things they always "invent" to take money away from poor fellows who fall for that crap.

think about it ... a sheet of some kind of material that's supposed to improve battery life?
do you get a wifi-air-cleaner-spray with it?

This reminds me of a saying, what was it again?
Ah yes, BULL SHIT!!!
Do you not think that if this could be built into a phone, that mobile producers would use it to so as to claim extended battery life specs, and it would only cost them a few cents, pence, etc.

BUT THEN WE COULD ALL BE WRONG - IS IT OUT THERE

Although I am usually very sceptical of products like this, I do trust the judgement of MobileBurn.com's writers. I bought a couple screen protectors from overlayplus.com anyway, so I thought for $8 (yeah - I paid $8) I'll give the Battery Extender a try.I have gotten great battery life from my P900 already, but if I can squeeze just a bit more from it I will.I'll post my results when I get my Battery Extender.

With regards to your good battery life for your p900... how much have u been getting on average? Mine is quite new and I only get max 2 days!

2 days?! In my experience, that is ideal! I only got ONE DAY out of my N3650.I typically get about 1½ days from my P900. I use my phone heavily, leaving BT on at all times, MMS, talking, and using Opera (and GPRS) constantly.

really?.. thats ideal? i guess i am just not used to the low battery life. I used to get at least 4 days from my t610... and the battery stats are way overrated by SE.

I too was a little dissapointed with the P900 battery as my old Z5 lasted for 3-4 days, so 1-2 days was a little low.

However I am now more than happy, as if you only use the P900 as a phone (calls, txts etc) it will last a long time. I went a whole day (and night) not using any non-phone features (I was very busy) and sent about 6 txt messages and made about 20 mins of calls, and the battery at the end of the day was on about 85%, so that would be over 6 days.

The battery life only becomes an issue when I use opera and ESCUMMVM (and other processer intensive apps) a lot as well as transfering large files over bluetooth, but then if I knew that I would not be able to charge it for a few days I would refrain from using battery hungry apps.
