Hey everyone, I'd like to know if there's an extended battery available for the TM-150, love everything about the phone other than the battery life.

Haven't seen one. What sort of lifetime are you getting?

Thats close to my times also. Two days with little usage. My 14 days are up Monday, I'm thinking of returning it. My wife's v300 goes 5 days with out recharging..

Buy a spare battery and a charger stand, they can be had on ebay for real cheap.

This way you can charge one battery and use one at the same time.

IMHO this is much better than buying a extended battery (which i believe does not exist.)

Just to report. I recieved my TM150 (was using V300) on Saturday and am getting the same amount of talk and standby as reported here. I am a little dissapointed in this but will make do. Other than short batt life i'm very happy with this phone. If others are getting longer batt life please share and let us know what you are doing. Thanks!!!!!

if not i will take jdm's advisce and buy extra batt and stand.

You need to give a new battery a few cycles to get to fully capacity. Also, in my experience, the low battery alert comes really early on this phone. For example, I've made a call for over an hour before the battery died after getting the beep.
Having said that, 2.5 hours talk plus 2 days standby is typical for me. If you use the camera, the battery will go down because the whole camera + screen + backlight uses a lot of juice.
