HTC Touch Diamond (CDMA)
Advocate Waiting
I did not have enough time to fully do everything I wanted on this phone when a customer wanted a phonebook swap. I do however have a few questions for those reps who do have one. The manual for this phone online @ HTC.com in support states that the landscape view is not available for compact qwerty or phone keypad..

Hows the battery life on yours so far, im also an advocate for the diamond and my battery life on mine sucks i get about 3 hours standyby time thats with no phone calls text messeges or anything.

This might be dumb but what is SCI. Like i said i havent even done the Sprint TV or Sprint Navigation. Im serious I fully charged it one day and didnt receive any calls or text messeges closed everything in the background and locked and dimmed the backlight to the lowest setting and I took it of the charge at 9:00 before coming into work by 1:00 it was dead. and i have tried a different battery that didnt work either so im trying to figure out if it is possibly the phone that might be the issue.

Are you in a corporate store, or a third party that also got blessed by HTC with an advocate handset? If you're in a corporate store, have one of your TCs run it through an "Auto" test on the Cadex, takes about two hours, that'll give you an idea if it's a bad battery, or if you might need to try something with the handset. Make sure BT is off, if you have e-mail set to auto-sync every x amount of time, set it to Manual. Make sure you disconnect it from the web when you're done using it.
