Hi. I'm typing this on my VZW Diamond. I had been using a Vogue for the past year, until it crapped out.

Anyway, the Verizon Diamond is fine.

It has 192mb of RAM... the exact same amount as the GSM Diamond. I'm running Rhodium Manilla on it. Runs extremely smooth... no hiccups. I've used all variations of Diamonds and Touch Pros... VZW Diamond is just as responsive as any other. Sure, there's less RAM than Sprint/Alltel, but when do you ever even come close to running out of RAM on those? I don't ever come close to running out on the Verizon Diamond. RAM is not an issue.

There are issues though. After initial boot, you only have ~70mb of storage memory for programs. Nowhere near enough. I've had to move all caches to the storage card (the inclusion of a storage card slot being a huge plus, btw), and I still don't have enough to install everything I want to. The fact that there is no unlocker for VZW means we can't cook our own ROMs, and alleviate this. That is a big strike against VZW Diamond.

Lack of GPS sucks too.

So yeah, there are definitely issues. There are advantages though (microSD/faceted back). Make your decision with real info though, not message board talking points.
