Cappy,

I do not agree. Who do you work for!!!

Before the Diamond, I had a Touch, I could have the data connection on for 8 hours and would still have 40% battery.

There was less heat on the Touch.

The GSM version of the Diamond with a smaller battery has less issues.

Take a look at the problem from a different prespective, you are a IT manager who needs to deploy 500 Diamonds to mobile workers using Mobile Exchange services, during your testing, users cannot get 8 hours on a charge with activesync on constantly.

As an IT Manager, you recommend Blackberry since you can get a full day with constant email syncing via BES server via the Blackberry.

From Microsoft & HTC perspective, that 500 units lost, from carrier perspective, they pay a percentage of data ARPU to RIM, if they use Activesync, data does not pass through a 3rd party NOC (RIM data center in UK or data center in Waterloo, On).

I have had enough PDA data devices to know when is an issue, did not have battery problem with Touch or P4000 (mogul)

Also, someone from HTC admitted in PPC Geeks there is a problem.

You must either work for carrier or HTC and want to avoid users who are having problems come forward.

The facts do not support your argument.....sorry

At the end of the day, I am really looking for reg edit to change radio refresh to 300ms.

The goofy North American wireless carriers seem to feel they need 6 months of regression testing to release a new ROM, by the time Sprint, Verizon, Bell Mobility and Telus Mobility have a tested ROM with 300ms refresh, one of them will have announced the HTC HD or another new model for their CDMA networks and will be arguing with customer who have contracts about upgrading.

I hope enough people complain, then the carriers will have to subsidize new handsets.....they be better off fixing the issue on Diamond and not let users hang out to dry.

Cappy, if you work for HTC or one of the above carriers listed, copy and paste the above info to your VP of customer service, VP of sales, and your COO and ask them to look at issues from the customer out, not from their profit margins and how to screw customers in!!!!!!
