Never use WMWifiRouter? That alone is probably 50% of my reason for even having this phone. It's also the reason I stuck with the memory challenged Titan instead of switching to the Vogue (plus I prefer a hardware keyboard).

Does anyone know if the diamond suffers from this same problem?
But the additional power draw from more RAM is almost negligible. Certainly not enough to cause a significant increase in the amount of heat the device produces. Again, the vast majority of the radiation/heat comes from the radios, with WiFi being the biggest offender. Granted, unless you're tethering over WiFi that isn't an issue for most people. The Touch was a much slimmer device, it probably did cool better. Similarily, the Diamond might cool slightly better than the Pro, but I've heard people remark on how hot it gets as well. Can't say if it's hot enough to stop the battery from charging.
