conclusion the battery life sucks on the diamond - could be a radio, could be bad programming, could be a physical flaw in the battery for all I know - but since I have my screen turned off and both run the same version of WM(after running a custom rom update on the Touch) the fault lies with our Diamond, not with our stars.

supposition - I would expect a $500 phone to have BT for voice communications to work as well as a free phone. I would expect after the Mogul BT fiasco that someone would test to see if th BT worked properly on the Diamond - but expecting Sprint or HTC to test their phones before selling them is apparantly unreasonble because who would ever use a phone long enough during testing to find out the battery life sucks or a BT headset sounds like crap when paired with this phone.

Well, I'm running Juicy's ROM and my results are much different. I let the phone run for a day and a half and the battery was still at 60%. I made a couple of calls durring this time also. My email checks every 2 hours.

This is opposed to my Mogul where the battery would not even last an entire day just sitting idle.

As far as BT, I was marveling at how much better it was than the Mogul.

Sounds like a defective phone if you ask me. I love the Diamond, but not enough to cheat on it with the Pro when she comes out.
