But the point is, thats all meaningless. As long as it lasts one full day and a little more for emergency (or really late nights), then I'm fine. I can charge my phone every night, no big deal. But once you get LESS than one day, its crossed the line. Its practicality has now dropped to very close to none. Any extra battery life over the one day minimum is great (and very appreciated) but the basic one day is a must.
To relate in other terms: different phones have different radios, and thus vary in their reception. Thats okay, but if it has no radio at all, then it ceases to be a phone because it doesn't have all the components of a phone. To me, one of the necessary components of a phone is one (1) full day of battery life. less than that, its no longer a phone. a cool device, but its not a phone.

well said. this is a real expection of a WM media phone. we can't compare a flip phone vs this diamond. diamond can do so much more with bigger screen. hence its batter should be shorter. my old Samsung 920 last more than a couple days but it does nothing except being a phone.
if you have a higher expectation, get the iphone which battery can last more than a day. but you pay arm and leg to get equivalent service at ATT.
conclusion: I love my diamond
