Well, I checked mine on a Sunday morning by calling my land line and leaving it connected until it died. I got just under 3 hours of talk time. Another time in a 4 hour period, I logged all my calls and got under 2 hours of talk time without using the phone for anything else.

Maybe I'm the weirdo here but a phone is for talking first and other stuff second.

Dont' get me wrong, I love the Diamond for all of its features and use them. Best phone out there because of its size. However, it is still a cell phone and I wish it could function as one for more hours of talk time.

As for ROMS, it seems as though I'll get more overall time (aka standby) but not necessarily more talk time.
