its strange how things are different for ppl even tho we're using the same phone.

After two days using the Telus radio (switched from stock sprint) I can say the only real noticeable difference is the heat -- but not by much. Even a ten minute phone call warms up my diamonds butt

Maybe I'm lucky with my diamond but out of box I got pretty good battery life, and that hasnt changed with the telus rom.

That being said I'll probably stick with it, just cuz it satisfies my need to modify my phone.

And just as an aside, it's not the battery that warms up, most of the warmth I feel from low on the phone -- where the CPU is located. The battery sits higher up.
