T-Mobile to Ship Free Battery Upgrade to G1 Users?

Posted on 30 December 2008 by


Since I have been carrying a G1 for about a week, I have been scouring the net for all of the info about the G1 I can.  This includes adding some of the better sites to my Google Reader.  Was checking up my feeds this morning and came across a post on Phandroid.com that it’s been reported on googleandblog.com that a T-Mobile rep hinted that T-Mobile would be shipping every G1 owner a 2400 mAH battery and a new cover to every G1 owner in January.  All I have to say is I hope if it’s true, that the version T-Mobile ships out is thinner than this extended battery Boxwave is selling for $59.95.  With the extended battery, it will turn a somewhat chunky device unto one that is definitely chunky!  Check out the picture of how thick it would make the G1.

    True that is excessively thicker, but in the end its cost effective for T-Mobile to provide these batteries so people use their services more upon which they would profit in the backend.
