I email them telling them that they said the charger was compatible but in fact it isn't so they quoted some poorly written sprint page about the phone and charger compatibility.
I took a picture of the port and sent it to them. That shut them up pretty quickly.
The stupid HTC style port doesn't hold the usb connector as tightly as the b-shaped usb does.
No they aren't compatible. Check out some pictures of the Touch Diamond via a google image search and you'll see.

The USB port on the diamond absolutely is backward compatible with standard mini-b connector. I have a Touch Diamond and have had no problem at all using it with my existing USB cables (for sync or charging).
This is identical to the Mogul/6800.
