I have 3 and a wall charger. Having an extra battery is huge on long trips, and I can ditch the weight of an external battery pack. The H990DS version is dual sim.

Thanks; I'm a bit confused between the different versions of the phone, but the specs look good -- Iike looks like the the US T-mobile version (H918) which seems to be the most readily available has different band support and doesn't support UMTS 900 while the H990DS does.
