SOLVED! (nope, see below)

I think the Diamond becomes sluggish after you hit the power button (while it's trying to conserve energy). If you're listening to music while the phone is in this state and something power-intensive happens (like managing connection issues)..... you know the rest. I guess I should've expected that from a phone so amazing, yet so small.

So my solution is to leave the phone in a dimmed state rather than completely black while listening to music. You're probably concerned about battery life right now. I don't know what to tell you except to flash a Juicy and flash the 1.03.03V radio.

If you want to help me test this, you can do it however you want. I plan to change backlight settings to dim after 10 or 30 sec then lock, auto-lock, or throw it on the passenger seat. Please post your test results. I'll have mine shortly.

EDIT: Problem NOT solved. I seems like it's more of an issue with the TouchFlo music player than anything else. If you use Windows Media Player it happens less and when it does it's less severe. Also, it ONLY happens a minute after the backlight is turned off. And this really sucks beacuse, you might not notice, but whenever a Diamond has connection issues it turns the backlight on automatically. So even if you press that power button once and listen for hours, you'll still get
hiccups every time the backlight goes off after it's time-out following the automatic-on bug. This is B.S. Sometimes, I wish I had an iPhone. And I could add more issues I've noticed while listening to music (specifically regarding volume and audio booster issues - being forced to start playing music before you plug in the retarded adapter), but I won't (did) go into it.
