HTC Touch Diamond-Update
I reported about a month ago that I had acquired the HTC Touch Diamond phone for my 17 year old son. It is a nice phone with some great features. However, I have to take a minute here to address a significant shortcoming with this phone. The battery. The battery seems to constantly run out. He can take the phone off of the charger, with the indicator showing full, and go to school. By the time he gets home from school about 9 or 10 hours later his battery is toast. We have made all of the adjustments recommended by others on various forums (turn off bluetooth, turn off the Beam, etc.) and we have went back to Alltel/Verizon and addressed the issue with them. They replaced the current battery with a new one with the same results. That is our only complaint about the phone.
You can find extended life batteries on ebay. Proceed with caution if using non-OEM batteries. However, I have bought non-OEM batteries in the past with no problems but I have not purchasesed one for my HTC Touch Diamond.

So, unless I encounter another major issue my overall rating of the HTC Touch Diamond is good. Just be sure to take into account the battery drain when evaluating for use.
