That is some really wishful thinking on my part... I must of read your reply at least twice, refusing to see the dollar signs. I went back and checked, and sure enough, you said the cradle does not come with a battery.

I shelled out a pretty penny for the i300 (I guess we all have). It’s hard to grasp that I'll have to spend $59 for a cradle and probably $69 for and extended battery. Dang, throw in the service, insurance, case, etc and this device is racking a nice chunk of change for Sprint and Samsung.

Sorry, again for my dyslexia.

I really am only getting about 12hrs of battery time with the i300. I think this must have to do to the poor Sprint coverage near my home (and work for that matter)
