Re: Upgrade to Diamond from Touch Vogue or go to TP2?
 

I just got the call back from Sprint and they finally agreed to give me the Touch Pro 2 for $199 after rebate (to match Verizon). Means they'll charge me $299 for it. Problem is that I am most likely not eligible for the rebate as I do not have one of the "Everything" plans, but rather have an "Unlimited Data Plan". Based on my existing overall plan (very old lots of grandfathered stuff) it would cost me for me to switch to an "Everything" plan the rebate would save me. I decided to go for the TP2 for the $299 (and hope that I might convince them do give me the rebate in the end) since it is only $60 more than the Diamond would cost me on eBay and is a much better phone (even though I'd really prefer no keyboard and a smaller footprint).

You won't regret it. It's a big jump in device, and I'm planning to do that soon as well.

Re: Upgrade to Diamond from Touch Vogue or go to TP2?
 

I'm looking forward to it. Busy reading up on the TP2 threads to prepare myself.

Sounds like you've already pulled the trigger ... but will give my thoughts anyway. I am one of those who love their Diamond. I've had mine for a year, and have to tell you that the rom you use makes all the difference in the world. Mine is quick, stable, and just fun to use. The VGA screen is quite nice, and I really like the smaller foot print, especially the thinness. Personally, I'll be waiting for the D2 or the HD2. Enjoy your new phone ... there should be lots of custom stuff to choose from.

Re: Upgrade to Diamond from Touch Vogue or go to TP2?
 

I was very tempted to go with a Diamond specifically for the smaller footprint and because I don't need the hardware keyboard. But, I was really hesitant to pay that much for a phone that's already been around for a year.

I hope I've made the right decision.

I like the Diamond but if there are slightly bigger screened phones coming out that do just as much for the same price why not get it? :D

Re: Upgrade to Diamond from Touch Vogue or go to TP2?
 

I'm inclined to agree, if all you could find is a Diamond for $200 or more. You do have some time to test out the TP2, so give it a go, and let us know what you think. Enjoy ...

have you thought about the hero?

Re: Upgrade to Diamond from Touch Vogue or go to TP2?
 

Only very briefly. I've had WM phones for years (and use some very uncommon proprietary WM programs) and am not ready to switch to another platform.

Were it not that my current Touch is dying, I might wait to see what else is offered in the near future, but since I can't wait, it's the TP2 for now.

Re: Upgrade to Diamond from Touch Vogue or go to TP2?
 

What you could do is buy the TP2 full price then just hardly use it, put it in a case and screen protector, sell it when Sprint releases something thinner, then voila. That or get another phone off of eBay/Craigslist.
