However I have been thinking about switching to the Thunderbolt again.  I miss that massive battery some days.

I was speaking of the extended battery when I wrote "massive battery".

The extended battery is heaven, especially when I am using hotspot and this is why I have tried to stay away from any device that has none removable batteries.  I have to have a backup plan when using hotspot or gps on long trip.

yeah....i flat out won't get a phone without a removable battery. i just don't trust not being able to replace it. i know the battery lives are getting better, but i've seen plenty of cases of bad batteries here (and other forums). what then? you'd have to replace the whole phone. i went with the rezound battery. 30% more juice than the stock tbolt battery, but the original casing fits (i just don't care for the extra bulk. i'm sure i'd get used to it, but i just can't do it).

I consider the Rezound battery when they was on sale cheap but decided to stay with the extended...  Besides I think the extended battery gives the device a more solid feel to hold it which is also a plus for me.

I picked up an extended battery when they were half price online. I agree, it gives the phone a better 'feel' so I do not have to give the phone a death grip in hopes of not dropping it!
