So I understand the OS and hardware on the phone pretty well, but have no idea about the whole ESN clean vs dirty and whatnot.
When I receive this new Touch Diamond, Im sure they will swap my account over to the ESN on the new touch diamond. If I buy a Touch Pro off of ebay and want to sell my diamond on ebay, how do I sell the touch diamond with a "clean ESN" and how do I move my account to the new Touch Pro that I buy off of ebay?
Also, does anybody suggest waiting for the HTC Hero instead?
Any suggestions or comments are welcome, thanks a lot.

Since you are getting your Diamond from Sprint, it will have a clean ESN.
More importantly, your concern would be to make sure the Pro you get on Ebay has a clean ESN.
I never purchased a device off Ebay but I would ask the seller for the ESN before bidding on it. I would then call the carrier and see if the ESN is clean.
I am not sure if that can be done though due to Privacy issues but someone will be able to verify if that can be done, and if not, then what is the best way to verify an ESN.
As for the Hero, I don't know much about it. It is Android, so I don't know how stable the OS is at this stage of the game.
Maybe stick with WinMo until more info gets out regarding reviews, user's experiences, etc., etc.
