Diamond or Touch Pro

I currently have the Diamond but I really want the keyboard. How do the 2 compare besides the keyboard. Speed the same? Any problems with the Touch Pro?

Thanks

i have multiple pros and a diamond. theyre the same speed wise... so it's up to u whether u want a keyboard, flash for the camera, expansion slot for more memory. keep in mind the diamond has a poor amount of device memory. i barely installed anything and im already down to 12.. while i have a fully loaded pro with 80 or so left in device. might just be me but i like putting most of my apps on device to keep from any strange behavior form happening.

the diamond is really solid because it's one piece. if ur coming from a diamond the pro may seem a little less sturdy, but thats just cause it has a sliding keyboard.
goodluck deciding. u should just get both like me ha

Damn, 4gb of memory and only 12 left? How many apps can you possibly install?

I've had both and came from the Vogue. Thought I would love the Pro and returned it within two days.

I didn't care for the keyboard and the increased thickness just wasn't my cup-o-tea.

The Diamond is limited by storage as you probably already know, but for my uses the 4G internal is fine.

It's really a matter of person preference, I'm fine with the Diamond and will wait for the HD to come out for the CDMA carriers before I switch to something else.

im talking about device storage... i barely installed anything and it was down to 12mb... the 4gb is "internal storage." i know its not exactly a "storage card" but its probably treated like one, thus causing problems with certain apps that arent too storage card friendly... thats why i was disappointed the diamond didnt have as much device storage as the pro... the 4gb internal card isnt that big of a deal.
like i said, i have 4 uis and probably 40 apps installed on my device storage on the pro and theres still 80mb left, huge difference. :/
id still recommend both phones.

the memory of the diamond was one of my deciding factors to get a pro.. that, and the sd card. i really don't know why they didn't include one, it makes no sense.
