Blackberry (like every other phone manufacturer) is in the business of selling phones. With all the fierce competition a manufacturer has to cut costs as much as they can. The battery is one of those costs. How can T-Mobile sell you an 8100 for $200.00? Because the pricing is subsidized by RIM. We are in the aftermarket business so we create products that phone manufacturers are not really concerned with. It's simply not their core business. For example, we've sold thousands of our 2400mAh batteries for the Treo 700/650. The original battery is 1800mAh and is the exact same size. Could Palm have produced this battery? Yes, but it would have increased the price of the phone.
"It is impossible to get more power from a battery of the same size and chemistry."
Wrong. All Lithium-Ion cells are not the same. They vary in power and in quality. Many third party battery manufacturers use Chinese cells in their batteries which are very well known in the industry to be of lower quality than Japanese cells. We use Japanese cells in all of our batteries. Others simply claim to have more power than they really do. These are typically the no-name ebay batteries you find really cheap. We buy the largest mAh cells we can to maximize the power in the space available.
"NO 3RD PARTY BATTERY WILL WORK!!!"
Our testing so far has said that it can. Stay tuned and we'll let you know when they're available.
Thank you for your continued support of Seidio products.

While I agree that all L-Ions are not created equal it is easy to "promiss" increased performance in the same size package but harder to deliver. There are so many ways to test and spec batteries that it is really hard to compare one brand from another. I have no doubt that "some" extra power would be available in a higher quality battery but little.
Is not Seidio in this to make money, too?
