I'm using a universal charger bought from eBay. It works remarkably well.
On to another interesting finding...
If you read my posts, I live in a bad Sprint coverage area. It seems that the Diamond burns battery worse than other phones in bad coverage areas. Strangely, as bad as the coverage is, none of the phones ever go into roam. They just go to zero % coverage and acquire and back and forth on Sprint.
Last night, I forced my phone into roam. The coverage is still not excellent (35-65%) via Verizon, but here is what I found: With BT on, forced roam, between the hours of 11:30 PM and 7:30 AM (7 hours), it burned 1% battery. I turned on the screen a few times now and it's still at 65% (from 66% last night).
If I left the phone on Sprint/Automatic, the phone would have easily used 30-50% over 7 hours at idle.
