Nice! Ok, back on topic. My experience with the VZW radio is:
1. Amp draw while on the phone and transferring data is much lower. Dont have comparison numbers, but its about the same as what others have posted.
2. The phone, as others have said, doesnt get nearly as hot.
3. My download speeds are about the same.
4. When data connection is idol, still get the same amp draw as with sprint radio, between 57-75ma.
All in all with this radio, and Juicy's 2.6 rom, Im having the best battery performance since owning my diamond. If we could just get a 2200mah battery the same size as the stock one, Diamond life would be perfect. Well except for the lack of programmable buttons, and a flash, and a SD slot, and flawless landscape support, and blah, blah blah. J/K. I LOVE THIS PHONE!!
(love the extra emoticons too!!!)
