Does this work with a sprint touch pro? Is the battery life any better with this radio?

regarding battery life, i dont think anyone with a diamond can really comment on that yet since we've only had this radio for a couple hours. we'll know soon.

Is this really possible?
Oh. Wait. I think I know what happened.

OK. That's more realistic... I was still synced and it must have connected through my PC. The second one is the second test after I disconnected from the USB port. The 1st was horrible- showed something like 32KB/s. Must have still been initiating the connection.

well I just got 1.18mbs so not as good....
did it like 5 or 6 times. results ranging from 877 to 1.18. Not too shabby but about the same as the sprint and telus, just more consistent than the telus for me.

let us know how the battery life is once you guys have had it for a little. that is the biggest thing for me that I care about!

You get 1.18MB/s using EVDO?

I thought it maxed out around 1MB/s? No?

Is that where you got your quote from? If so, they are talking about upload. In theory, download speed to 3.1 Mbps and peak upload speed to 1.8 Mbps.
