"That's a big twinkie."
that's what, um, he said
Darth Vader called.... He wants his helmet back.
That's what happens when you hold it too much.
i actually like this.. there are occasions when i don't care about the size (Style). Like a field trip or a navigating day when you are crossing Europe.. again.
yo dawg, i heard you like to talk so we put a phone in your phone so you can talk while you talk
I'd definitely want to carry that around in my front pants' pocket. Nothing wrong with a little extra bulge.
I like the idea of a handset with an interchangeable back that holds a larger battery. Apple needs to rethink that one on a special high-end iPhone or maybe the iPod Touch. Ultra-skinny mobile devices are just a wee bit short on staying power.
Oh my god that's the biggest phone battery I've seen since the early 90's
The bigger size means if it explodes it will probably kill you. Also being a third party accessory raises the possibility of failure. FUD is fun!
you can swap the batteries any time you want?
wow! this is unheard of!!!!
Pretty cool actually. If I get a pre it might be nice to have the extra power.
i can dig the extra power, not being able to comfortably fit in my pocket would be the only downfall for me. now all i need is a pre
@Paul Corlatan
I don't think it would comfortably fit in a car, let alone a pocket
This is madness.
But this isn't Sparta.
this is spartaaaaa. Sorry, it had to be done. Still that kind of sucks if you wear skinny jeans and have that huge mass of a phone in your pocket. Is battery cell tec technology come any further where we could actually shrink the size down to a thinner cell?
Slade... I hope you are a girl with a comment about skinny jeans.
madness? This is MARTHA!
as Jay-Z once said
"Can't wear skinny jeans cause my Pre don't fit"
That's a huge B!t(h
Keep it in the circus!
Freak!
You've got to be kidding me. That thing looks like a tumor. Seriously, who would buy that?
You'd be surprised.
people who want to walk around pretending they have a tumor on their thigh. duh.
"IT'S NOT A TUMUHHH!"
This thing is a guaranteed kill if it explodes.
UT2004:
"iLoveApple Fragged by Pre"
Eff that, you can probably throw it at someone and give them a good concussion.
BOOM! Headshot!
They'll run out of juice before the weekend is over
looks like a mouse...
Have Pre. This: Do no want.
haha its ridiculous
I have no problems with the battery life on mine, some days I cut it close and have around 10% left when I put it on the touchstone but for the most part I'm very happy with it.
cant help noticing, its over a world of warcraft northrend map.
why?
:o
the world may never know
cause it looks like a wired optical mouse on a mouse pad... I would lmao if I saw someone with this... It's like buying a Porsche and towing a huge gas tank so you can drive all weekend without stopping.
ridiculous!
Its a mouse pad with map on it.
8)
lol, prerection.
At least Palm gave its users the option to replace the battery. Unlike a certain fruit company.
Really Sean? Really? That's your comment?
Prediction of Paul A. Chapel's first comment on this post:
"LOL APPLE R ULZ"
You know what, I agree.
Where I work, I can't take the thing into the building. And leaving my iPhone in the parking lot without at least being able to take the battery inside sucks. All day long I'm wondering if I'm going to come back to my car to find an overcooked smore. Not to mention, the fact taht everyday it's 100 degrees outside I can't help but think to myself... Great, another day that my battery just died a little inside. It's not all about swapping batteries for longer life you know. I HATE that I can't take my battery out.
What now?
Congrats for being the douche that makes every thread an Apple thread! Not just for fanboys anymore.
But yeah my 3GS battery really blows.
Andrey,
Agreed.
Whys the plug on the bottom?
Shenanigans?
It's probably plugging directly into the extended battery, so it could potentially charge faster.
That battery is all kinds of hideous...
I think (from reading the article) they were trying to compare it to the size/shape of a computer mouse. teehee.
Either way eww...the case is disgusting
