lol. carrying multiple battery chargers? buying cheap knock off batteries? who made the comment about it fitting in their pocket? what do you have a size 15 waist 20 length? :-D geez tinyhands, you guys are ridiculous. this battery is a godsend, and 80$ is barely a drop in the bucket to get meaningful heavy use out of your 650$ smartphone++. I have preordered. All jokes aside I hope those of you who cant stand the size are rewarded with a smaller cheaper battery that extends the stock life though.

Swapping battery has the disadvantage of losing all state. All your open browser windows, etc.. and then you miss all the irc conversation and backlog while you fumble wtih batteries.. 
Big battery has the advantage of lasting longer nonstop.
Batterypacks have the advantage of being hotswappable, disadvantage with the cables, makes me especially nervous considering the now almost notoriously weak usb port...

I have a 2200mAh charger in my bag, and a backup BL-5J in my wallet (takes almost no space).

And pending significant advances in battery technology, there's no way to actually make a higher-capacity battery within the size constraints.
