Hey, I have great problem with diamond battery ( Getting hot and drains fast). Others also have to same problem! Thinking of changing to Rapael.. Do you guys also have trouble as diamond and raphael look the same except the keyboard?

As the Raphael is not yet released, there will be no representative answer to your question for the moment.
You have to wait until it gets released and more and more people will report their experiences.

But one thing in advance: The Raphael battery is more powerful then the Diamond one.

Raphael (MDA Vario IV) shows me between 1 and 4 mW in standby which is very acceptable. Once i recognized (AFTER playing with GPS navigation hours before) that the device is pretty hot and when turning on it showed around 240mW (no applications running in background, all measures with batterystatus). A soft-reset solved this issue - so it MAY be the same OS-dependend "bug" which we had with our kaisers too... (Note: this is just my estimation, i cannot proof anything!)

I agree, the extra battery life of the 1340mAh battery certainly seems to be lasting much longer for me.

I have been using it pretty heavily while i have had it, even to the point of browsing the internet for about 3 hours yesterday over wifi and HSDPA. With arounf 40 minutes of calls, 20 text messages and an hour or so of Sudoku, Linerider, Pocket sand and teeter The battery still had 40% left at the end of the evening (11pm) from a full charge overnight to 100% at around 8:30am.

The Diamond would be down to it's last legs after that lot, if I was very lucky!

but in general, for a moderate user like myself, i can see this battery lasting 2 days every time, 3 days easily and on occasion 4 whole days.

I have found the battery gets just as hot as it did on the dimond and my battery life does not seem to be brilliant is there any fix for this or a setting that can be adjusted other than the normal ones
