I was curious about where he got the 100ms value. I certainly was not able to find this value in EPST or registry. I latched on to that particular post because, indeed, the Sprint Diamond does terribly in bad coverage areas. Extra polling can potentially explain this.
I didn't buy the heat shield claim because 1) he indicated it was to be installed _behind_ the keyboard, which would do nothing to keep heat from radiating toward the back of the phone, where it gets hot, and 2) I wouldn't think there be enough room anyhow. It is possible that he is telling the truth as he knows it/as he was told.
Are you indicating that, since flashing to Sprint radio, your phone gets measurably WORSE battery life AND more hot when compared to Telus? If so, there is hope for a ROM update. Have you flashed back to Telus to see if the battery lasts longer and phone runs cooler? If so, by how much?

Im praying there is a radio update as i want to ditch this Sprint radio asap. and i agree the back of the device starts to melt down. i didnt notice untill i started using evdo in poor coverage its just obnoxiously bad. i cant get a hold of a telus rom to flash back to or id be on it like flies on $hit.
i did jump the gun on some of his claims they are legit. im still scheptical about the missing heat sheild. as he says the pic i show is not the radio. which is true. that dont matter the heat sheild is there on the side that gets hot as hell. but if the devices start failing HTC is going to have a *** load of devices to recall.
