This does look pretty amazing although you would want to be a wealthy enough man to purchase this at €199 it's not even on sale yet but i can see this doing well with people who spend a lot of time outdoors away from electricity like explorers,etc.
Something like this would be great at a festival or if you were just out and about for a period of time and your phone died and nowhere near electricity and you needed it charged up.
What do people think to this?
I think hydrogen is harder to find than sunlight.
Seeing as they Don't even say how it works under the section "how it works" and seeing as hydrogen or Cole fusion is not invented yet to a point of usefulness (and would not be invented just by some company just to power USB devices...).
I'm going to go with it a Battery on one side and a tank that holds water and dose nothing on the other side till proven other wise... Also wouldn't that vary easily become a Boom, a vary big boom?
I Call Shenanigans!
I don't know about the ins and outs folks i just seen this website and had a look and it does look like a superb invention.
Cool piece of tech, it's just a mini fuel cell but to be honest I think practically you're better off with a big battery. I have a usb one with a 5000 mAh capacity and it's smaller than my phone and it was only cheap. Gives me 4 whole charges of my phone and I'm never not near a wall socket for any longer.

looks a bit more affordable for sure,please report back and let us know how this is.
This is the one I got:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PortaPow-Premium-USB-Battery-Pack-5000mAh-Dual-Sockets-/220639367439
It's thicker than the SGS2, about the same width and a bit shorter. It's good, holds it charge well and does seem to hold up to the 5000 mAh spec quite well

thats ridiculous
doesnt even look that bad
I'll buy one if it comes with the back cover hell yeah.
Considering their larger capacity "stock" size batteries are not what they are rated at, I think I'll stick to my HTC brand 2750 until someone actually gets one of these and measures it out.
Not worth the premium price if you're only getting, say...2800 mah compared to what they are advertising....
Considering since it says it has "double" the factory battery, I'd be someone tests this out a few hundred mah lower than advertised.

Why not just strap a car battery to it...Maybe we can go back to the days of bag phones, and backpack batteries...

OOhh then my phone might actually last until i go to sleep like most phones do.
Considering how the TB uses the battery cover as an extended antenna, I think I'm going to stick with the OEM extended battery and battery cover this time.

I stopped using my extended battery. It's too damn bulky. I was actually surprised by how good the stock battery is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaTO8_KNcuo
I don't get it. The OEM batteries are so small and thin. I just keep an extra one in my second pocket at all times.
That looks so stupid but I might have to invest in one because the terrible battery life on this phone makes me insane. Im even tempted to go back to my droid.

No doubt it's just a placeholder, since they didn't have a real image at the time. Not that anyone really believes it'll be 3200 anyway...
How can their possibly still be people out there who believe Seidio's claims about their batteries?
I saw an amazing product on AMZER.CO.IN Its an emergency/backup charger not only for P500 but also any handheld portable device. Most distinguishing feature of it is it can charge on A/C as well as on solar energy. Now you don't have to worry about the battery of your O1 because this device called Amzer® 3500 mAh Battery Backup Solar Charger will take care of it.
ITS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! I THINK EVERY SMARTPOHNE USER MUST BUY THIS.
SRY TO POST IT WITHOUT A VIDEO OR LINK, BEING A NEW NOOB ON XDA, CURRENTLY I AM BARRED TO DO SO.
let me give you a hand http://www.amzer.co.in/Amzer-3500-mAh-Battery-Backup-Solar-Charger-P83981.htm
Brilliant. A solar charger that -- let me quote from its manual -- should not be exposed to fire, sunshine and other heat sources.
Thanks!!
Reviews on amazon are disappointing. :/
If it takes 12 hours to charge in Florida, I'm probably looking at a week here in Seattle.

I got one like this, tooks me one day to charge a small low consumption cell phone in Spain with a huge direct sunlight ... also, the battery is dying quickly (heat is not good for batteries, and using a mirror to avoid direct sunlight is not good also because the solars panels are getting f* hot ...).
Never used it on my P500, was too afraid to break the battery.
http://www.infibeam.com/Mobile_Acce...-Backup-Solar-Charger/P-E-MA-Amzer-83981.html
its 1/3rd the price of the phone, lol, fck it.. XD
Pricey
for that price you can buy a basic functionality phone which gives good battery backup

Interesting concept. Needs to evolve a little bit. Good idea for an emergency situation.
what do you supposed the likely hood of it working with the P505/P506?
mAh is hight

As the title says, I'm looking to get a nice combination of bumper+mega battery.
I quite like the Sweet Armor posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422752
I'm still very much open to suggestion regarding the battery, but I'm looking at http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1565&T=1
So yeah, I'm open to suggestion - size, weight and bulk are absolute NON-ISSUES. I like a big heavy phone for my big hands. They just gotta fit together.
Many thanks!
My recommendation is to buy the official Samsung extended battery.
The aftermarket ones tend to get hot, melt, explode and make the babbies cry.

I was kinda thinking the same after reading the reviews for the aftermarket batteries. Thanks!
Now, I have yet to get a definitive answer whether the sammy 2000mah battery fits in the Otterbox Commuter case. The case compatibility thread has some minor details, and a half-assed 'yes-maybe'. Pic of phone & case:

I've got a original samsung 2200mah battery

i have just ordered this one http://www.flagshipfones.co.uk/batt...sung-galaxy-s-ii-s2-2600mah-cs-smi9100hl.html It should actually be here today, i hope it doesnt explode or i will cry!
Well, my extended battery arrived and i almost cried at the sheer size of the thing.... it's actually thicker than the actual device! WTF! the tatty back cover doesn't even fit properly! needless to say, the think will be getting returned! i think the official route will be the best one!!

looks nice, what other cables does it come with ?
Longer usb cable that connects to your phone, it also has a USB port at the top of the battery Anker so you can use different usb to charge different phones
Looks nice is it heavy;
You can carry it with you when
You need a extra charge right;

ROM: Wildchild v 1. 1
half the weight of the wildfire S. Since its very slim you can carry it in your pocket or if you are a girl, then inside your purse. Well worth my $20 IMO
I gotta get one of those... my phone barely lasts a day.. D:
so am I right in thinking you use this to charge your phone up when it's out of juice....and if so, how many times can it charge up the wfs? I'm thinking it could be useful for weekends away or camping trips etc?
Yes camping it would be great! The power bank is 3200 mah so it can charge the wildfire s 2 times from dead, they make a 8000 mah as well

a case with a built in battery, like these. AFAIK, no one makes them for anything except iphones.
those are cool but that wouldn't happen on our phone or most android phones. Its easy and cheap to make cases for iphone because the design stays the same for the most part, designers have more time to create the case and for android phones the design is always changing and people are always getting new phones so a case like that would be great but there isn't enough money to be made by the maker, the wildfire s is popular but not that popular, I could see this battery case being made for the HTC one X
I recently bought the Anker 440mAh for the very small price of £9.99

I was skeptical about buying this due to how cheap it is, to anybody looking for a cheap alternative, this is for you.
Click HERE to view the battery on Amazon (UK)
I've seen people saying some batteries will not charge or that it's slow. This isn't, I've charged it a few times and it gets up to the 90%~ mark and remains neutral, it doesn't slow down whatsoever.
I completely forgot to screenshot my battery use after a solid 5 hour Final Fantasy 7 session with still 60%~ remaining.
The battery fit isn't great, it does fit in but it could be a lot better.
The extended case is cheap, it's made out of plastic and very hollow. With the added weight no doubt it would crack if dropped.
To sum up, the battery is well worth the price depending on use. I use it for playing games when I'm just chilling at my friends house, so here's for those who are wanting something for a similar use.
I had this battery, but it was less powerful than the original... weird.
Having used Anker batteries and travel chargers since my s2, i can safely say they can have my money any time, they make affordable but really great products. There batteries certainly last longer than stock.

But with 4400 you will have more power of course

I have this as well, the back covers they come with are not the best quality, and the battery is great, however it blocks the NFC capability. Ordered a Zerolemon 6300 Mah from Amazon a few days ago, should be here Thursday.
