One reason I bought this phone was to replace my ipod. I am very disappointed with the music issues that many are having. I returned my first diamond due to skipping problems and can now report that the second diamond has the same issue. I'm on stock sprint rom. It does not matter whether I'm listening in a car or the diamond is stationary when listening at home. I can also tell you that airplane mode makes no difference, nor does listening using wmp versus touchflo's player. I have tried copying cds as mp3 and wma and it makes no difference. I also tried transferring music using disk mode versus wmp sync on the pc. I was hoping to replace my ipod with this device.
I am hoping for a sprint/htc rom update to fix our troubles.
