Sprint appears to be giving free extended batteries to new and existing Galaxy Nexus users on 8/19.

Anyone know the size of the battery? 2100mAh?

 

That is correct. A little bit more will make a small, but noticeable difference, in my opinion.

I am going to call Telesales Sunday morning.

Sent with Apple's permission on my Galaxy Nexus.

This is good because i was considering buying the battery and Verizon branded cover from Amazon. We all know that would have just looked wrong!

I think this is fake. Where is the URL?They don't even have extended battery for sprint nexus.

 

It said it is offered through telesales, not via the web. It can't hurt to call Sprint Telesales: 1-866-866-7509 and ask about it on Sunday.

I think the deal is it goes on sale Sunday and the first lot is free. At least that's what it sounds like.

Online ordering sticks me in a loop when I try to use the discount code. Guess I will have to call in the morning.

I got the same thing. Sent me into a Causality Loop. :(

I called Telesales and ordered one. Just paid tax and shipping.

Shipping is 2-5 days and I have already received the confirmation e-mail.

 

I guess the call to Telesales is the way to go.

Good luck.

Just got off the phone with telesales, my order went through just fine. I should be getting it on tuesday. Again, thank you Ben for the heads up.

 

Also:

Called telesales. Said only for new customers. Wouldn't let me order one without ordering phone.

 

This is not true, if you already have a galaxy nexus on your sprint account you qualify as well so I suggest you call back.

Thanks for the head up. Just ordered the battery online. $6.50 for shipping plus state sales tax. Nice!

I got this after my 3rd call.

However, how did you get for $6.50 shipping? They also charged me $14.00 goofy1.

I just ordered mine through telesales. They asked how long ago i bought my nexus and i said on launch day :P . I got mine for 12.95 SH plus tax. BTW the shipping difference is 6.50 for ground and 12.95 for overnight.

Overnight shipping doesn't mean it shows up overnight. Sprint quotes 2-5 business days from order with overnight shipping.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
