Does it have problems of dropping your bluetooth headset every couple of days so that you have to pair it several times a week like the ppc6700 does? With the standard battery, does using the internet or the built in wifi suck the life out of your battery very quickly? Is there an extended life battery for it and is it a fat one requiring a separate back like the ppc6700? And I guess last but not least, how reliable is it in terms of picking up sprint signal? The first mogul I saw had a hard time picking up the sprint signal.

1. cant help you. dont really have many issues with bluetooth but use it sporadically
2. yes, the battery life is bad but frankly its bad on every ppc I've ever owned especially if you are using for surfing the web with wifi. however there a battery enhancement cabs out there as well as custom roms that help with battery life. you should be able to get through the day with moderate usage and only have to charge at night. But if you make lots of calls, use wifi, multiple data session, push email set up, lots of bluetooth, no matter what you are going to be charging within 6 hours or so.
3. yes there are extended batteries out there so do a search on the diamond forum. There's one that is over double the juice but it makes it as fat as the touch pro.
4. sprint signal depends on so many factors but most people have upgraded from the stock sprint radio 1.0.00f to the new ones out there. Most reports give the telus radio 1.04.05v and the new sprint radio 1.11.00f good marks. I personally am happy with the telus radio paired up with my Sprint diamond.
hope this helps.
