Does anyone have any more definite info on this? I called T-Mobile, but they said I didn’t qualify because I’m not the original owner of the phone (I bought it one-day old from someone on Craigslist) and the warranty doesn’t apply to me. They said I should call HTC and see if they would honor it. So I did, and they clarified that is not an extended battery, but a battery replacement program. I paid $37 to have them ship me another battery that is identical to the one I had in the phone originally. I send back my old one, and they will reverse the charges and give me my money back. What gives?

@ Nick,

the battery hack apparently can help aid with the power consumption. it makes certain registry hacks. results have varied amongst people.

I also just ordered mine. I’m worried about how thick it is going to be. I’ll probably just end up using it when I am going to be away from my charger for a while.

Just wanted to confirm the process. Ask to speak with the PDA department, because going through any other route will cause you to wait another 5 minutes. Shippings details are as follows: Free shipping is 7 business days. Express shipping ($15.00) gets the battery out to you in 3 business days.

I just ordered mine through an individual in the PDA dept. It was quick and easy. I found out about this offer from AllShadow.com and i wanted to come over here and say thanks for the tip.

Just called. Shipping it out free of charge today!!!! Glad I waited. And while sometimes Tmo drives me crazy with their poor selection of new phones, no 3G, etc, you have to admit their customer service is suuperb. They understood the demands and frustration of the consumers and delivered a solution free of charge! Kudos Tmo.

David,

That is incorrect. Call back and ask them to check T-mobileNews or Streamline, as any T-mobile Shadow Customer qualifies for the new battery, including you.

just called. they told me since I bought the phone in November of 07 and the existing battery has only a 3 month warranty, I dont qualify for a new battery.
