I know this is true of GSM with Edge vs 3G, but I never really tried it much with Sprint.

My brother-in-law's Diamond is lucky to last through a day (mostly text messaging).

i recently made the switch from evdo to 1x, because at work it was constantly switching, after i went with 1x it has last me at least close to 6 hours....

and another tweak that i have is with the "diamond tweak" that disconnect the data at requested time.... that has also save me a lot of juice

I'm up in Canada in vacation, banff, jasper, yoho, cell phone coverage is the pits! Worst battery usage ever! I do find setting 1x helps, so does roaming only, but still drains like no other! best to just leave it off!

4 ) 50
5 ) 40
6 ) I'm going to put it in hours/week... around 50

I think the trick to keeping the phone alive is to have the screen turn off as quickly as possible. One thing I did recently and it helped my battery life was using a screen locking program (S2U2) that works well with your screen settings and have it turn off the screen within a minute.

1 ) Less than 12h if I listen to music/watching movies/just doing stuff with it..
2 ) 1.93.413.3 SVE
3 ) Like everything you can do in Diamond TF3D Config and Advanced Configuration Tool including enabling every "power management" in the tool too.
4 ) Less than 1.
5 ) Depends, 1-2 excluding listening to music.
6 ) Not much at all, check my mail when I'm not at home and have to check it.
7 ) Not much, all disabled right now.
8 ) No.

I will probably get my 1800 mAh battery today since the 900 mAh clearly isn't enough.

Yeah you're on GSM so it may be slightly different.

Wow, is the Diamond eating so much battery really? I got my 1800 mAh today and I charged it for about 7 hours before I turned on my phone. It went down to 97 almost instantly and it's just going down and down and down.. Maybe it's because it's new and everything and I have to charge it few times before it reaches it's full capacity, but wow, HTC gotta do something about this. My Sony Ericsson w800i got a 900 mAh battery and I can listen to music on it for 48 hours straight or more without the battery dying. Sad HTC, sad.

Find a way to kill Opera9. If I were you go to XDA and download a custom ROM for your phone.
