Which one is better?

I am debating on whether to get the Touch Diamond or the Touch Diamond Pro. I really hate having huge bricks as phones so I am sort of leaning towards the Touch Diamond, but the extra mini-sd slot and qwerty keyboard are tempting. What all does the Touch Pro offer that the diamond does not? Which ones would you guys go with and why?

Thanks for all posts

Re: Which one is better?

Touch Pro hands down. I came from the vogue. I didn't notice much difference in size. Having my 8gb micro card back was amazing. I had both and hated the diamond in comparison. Diamond was always messing up and locking up, and the battery really was worse. This is just my humble opinion however.

Re: Which one is better?

well i was just like you and then what really helped me decide for the Touch Pro is that the Pro is a 4G (wimax) device. 4g is the new generation of Sprint's data connection. The diamond is not therefore tomorrow I will return my Diamond and get a Pro.

Re: Which one is better?

I also have another question. One thing I will be using my phone for is games. Not just any games, I will be using games that require emulators (such as SNES, NES, Gameboy, etc maybe playstation if possible?). Which one would be better for this? I know the qwerty keyboard would help a lot, but can you have the functionality you would need with the Touch Diamond?

I have a hard time understanding bad battery life in 2 diamonds set up the exact same as my touch pro which has better battery life being an issue of user error. Maybe the freezing, but as you can see I'm not the first with that problem either.

Also I had the problem with Internal storage both times.

Not user error, just phones shipped without proper testing.

BTW: Bluetooth stereo sucks on both of these phones right now.
