Buffalo I would recommend MightyROM4. It will be a nice change from what you are used to while still keeping most of what you like.

Sounds good to me....at this point I am willing to try just about anything. Will this change the way my phone looks (ie. the home screen ect...) if so is there some screen shots of it? If not does this "ROM" simply control the running processes to maximize efficiency of the battery life?...

Oh, one last thing will it work with an alltel phone?

The problem with mightyrom and the rest of the roms is I can't stand that touchflo interface with the scrolling icons, and no rom consistantly gives over 140 to 150mb of memory. They all start out high but end up low. I must agree with the statement made here by someone (I can't remember) that most of the builds after 21042 were dogfood builds. I just wish they would update some of the apps and tweaks on Buildos. I check daily but it says no updates.

Well yeah it will work fine Buffalo. It is a completely different image if you will of the phone but yes it works fine with Alltel. I used it in the past with no problem and it keeps Manila (the Touchflo interface) you are used to.

Has anyone tested to see if you disable EVDO if your battery lasts longer if you stay on 1X?

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).

If you are switching between 1x and EVDO you are going to have it running down the battery faster than leaving it in 1x mode. I run Intx's Mortscript he made in my previous battery life thread regarding texting and it is convenient.
