On a side note found it outrageous that they charge 17.95 for a users guide

What????
RIM never has the leading edge of their own offerings on their website - historically they are always behind. Maybe you should reference the various threads on this board and get up to speed on whats available.
I can see the product meetings now... "were spending all kinds of time, effort and energy on developing this extended battery for the 8700... whatever you do don't tell people it will work right or God forbid... recommend it!". Sounds like the tech you spoke with had his head up and locked.
