Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Gross! The Sprint Diamond does in fact have that NASTY maroon battery cover. That will deter me from getting it right there.

However it appears the Pro does not.

Since I don't want the bulk looks like I'm getting neither. Nice job Sprint.
Can I order a Victor black rubberized battery cover from somewhere?
Agreed with both the thickness and maroonness. They should really make batteries longer, not fatter for phones.. especially since the diamond is longer than the Touch, the "longer" lasting battery should have also been "longer".
I'm no fanboy, but the ceiling has been set. Any phone thicker than the original iphone should be thrown straight into the trash.
I await the day we can get a keyboard phone that is still only as wide as that. That will be rapture.
Sorry HTC.. the Touch Diamond was supposed to be the closest thing to an iPhone yet.. but you took a lateral step here...
We want Thin hardware, Android OS, Capacitive Touch screen, and a real Accelerometer. THATS IT! GIVE US WHAT WE WANT!
@DssTrainer: "...Any phone thicker than the orignal iPhone should be thrown straight in the trash."
Not everyone wants a thin phone! Some people, to include myself, like to feel like they are holding something of some substance. There is this major assumption going on that because thin phones are popular right now, EVERYONE wants one. This is just not the case and I dream of the day that people realize that fact. Not everyone is the same, thus not everyone wants the same thing. Not to mention, a screen being capacitive does not guarantee better quality. Look at the Samsung Glyde: POS!!!
i agree the maroon is ugly but. nothing that cant be fixed. i am sure with that there must be an aftermarket company to offer if not perhaps might be bought directly from HTC. a back cover shouldn't hold you back from a great phone.
