Re: Thinking of upgrading from vogue...

I went from a Vogue to a Diamond.

Just about everything is better on the Diamond. Things load faster, look crisper. Not sure how much you tricked out your Vogue with Manilia 2D or not, but TF3D runs faster than 2D did (for obvious reasons)

I do think the d-pad is a little bit wonky compared to the Vogue. Left and right seem to depend on positioning your fingers just right on the capacitive touch area, and I've gone to the home screen more than once when I was just trying to go left (up and down are no problem). And, maybe I'm just doing it wrong :P

The major downer is the GPS. I had iGo working as smooth as butter on the Vogue, and I get that nasty lag on the Diamond (where the cursor is a few seconds behind where you actually are). I've tried all the fixes, nothing so far.

So, if you don't depend on GPS, I'd say the Diamond is a no-brainer (money aside, of course).
