Comments on: Seidio Releases Slim Extended Treo 680/750 Battery

One of the most eagerly-anticipated upgrade for heavy-duty users of the Treo 680 and 750 has been a Seidio's extended battery that fits under the stock battery door. While the previously available 2400mAh Treo 680/750 provided double the life of the standard battery, it had an ungainly hump and required an aftermarket battery door.

Now, Seidio has managed to cram a full 1600mAh extended battery into the stock battery size. This extended battery enables Treo 680 and 750 users to have ~25% more power while maintaining their devices' sleek formfactor and the original Palm battery cover.

 oh wow

That is something that definitely appeals to me.
I love my Treo 680 so much I think this is a very justifiable upgrade investment.

I just followed the link in this article to buy one.
Guess what... $28.00 USD for shipping! (I think, as the fee table is not clear)

So 49$ for the battery and 28$ for shipping; that is crazy.
Forget it.

If you can hold out for a week or two this battery should show up in the PIC store, which has very reasonable shipping charges to Canada and the US.

 WOOT!

Ahem. Sorry for the caps. Thanks, Seidio! Knew you had it in you somewhere.
