Should I swap Vogue for Touch Diamond?

I currently have a Verizon Vogue that I've been actively flashing with ROM's for about a year - The phone has been great, I'm just getting a little bored - my new every two upgrade doesn't happen until September - as I have an insurance plan with Verizon, I have the opportunity to switch out by "broken" Vogue for a Touch Diamond without affecting my contract or upgrade status - I've read some pretty mixed reviews the the Touch Diamond so I'm just wondering if you all have been happy with yours once they've been tweaked with fresh custom ROMs and programs - any input would be greatly appreciated -

I'm on Sprint, but not sure if an unlocker was ever developed for the Verizon Diamond. If there is, then it's a no brainer ... my Diamond is better than my Vogue in lots of ways ... from the VGA screen to wi-fi, and on and on. The ability to customize with new roms is very important to me and sounds like it is to you as well. Perhaps someone else can jump in on the unlock issue.

Jacklad, there's no unlocker available for the Vrz Diamond. If you like to flash, consider waiting until your next upgrade date for something with more power and pixels, or see if you can get a TP2 as a Vogue replacement now.

Best of luck,

If you were on Sprint I would say try the Diamond but since your sticking with Verizon I suggest you wait or try a different device like the Droid or TP2.
You could try switching to Android on your Vogue. There are some flashable Android Roms now. Good Luck!!
