I just bought Innocell 3500mAh Extended Life Battery from seidioonline.com .
It works great and does not make your phone feel very heavy and bulky when carrying and using it like most extended batteries do. I would highly recommend this battery if anyone is looking for a extended battery for there Bold.
I have an extended battery too and am sorely disapointed with the "extra" life I get. I should have bought another standard one. Not worth the money for the extended.

Be sure and let us know how much more life you actually get out of it...I have been curious.
Okay check back in a couple of days because I want to wait a couple of charge cycles because I just got it yesterday. If this means anything, I was listening to continuous music on my Bold for 4 hours yesterday night and it only went through 1/10th of the battery basically after a full charge.
Man, that's ugly, I'd rather charge it every day. I get great battery life by using autostandby and not leaving wifi on when I'm not browsing - enough for a busy day of music, sat nav, texting/emails, calls and browsing.

Interested to know the results as well ... I have got into the habit of charging my phone whenever I get a chance ... When at work its attached to my PC, when driving plugged into the car charger, at night time its plugged into the wall ....
With that routine, never had a issue of the battery running out on me ...
But another battery would be a great extra buffer, just in case ...
An extra battery is nice to have. I bought an extra standard battery for $40. Its great to have when I have those extended phone calls and consistant text and emailing. I do approx 3200 messages a month. Thats a little over 100 a day. Emails average approx 15-20 a day. Could be crazy to some but then again why would you have a blackberry if you don't use it for what its worth?

LMAO yeah wow thats pretty ugly. is that rubber or plastic?
I was on the subway going to Manhattan using my phone all day today. Between the music, texting, calls, emails and Google Maps it drained my battery pretty quick. I finally decided I am going to order another battery and just keep in it my bag. No way can I do an extended battery.
Overall, I've been pleased with the battery life. However, I have a couple of questions.
You said that that the case is plastic but has a rubbery feel to it. If you set the Bold on a table, can you push it and have it move? The default backing does this, but when I put my BlackBerry skin on it, it won't move when I push it. Do you get the same effect from the battery cover? I guess that would tell me how "rubbery" it really is (kind of a selling point to me, truth be known).
Second, have you tried to put your Bold into the belt case that came with it? Does it still fit? I actually like the case that came with my Bold. Just wondering if I could still use it if I bought this battery!

It's a smooth rubber coating, not sticky like a silicon skin. If you push it, it will move. Also, it will not fit in the OEM holster. Well, I take that back, you could "fit" it in there, but you won't get it out quickly. It is VERY tight.
