My wife loves the Diamond hand-me-down. She think it's the best phone since sliced bread. My wife is basic when it comes to technology though - phone, few games, contacts, some internet. I on the other hand need everything under the sun. She appreciates the Diamond's size, fit, and finish.

Different needs for different folks. I think this is a simple case of a.) the users needs do not match correctly with the offering of the phone and b.) slab style phones are not sliders... they are almost always bulkier, and more complex.

Sometimes having the best phone that does a whole lot of EVERYTHING is not better then having a phone that just does what one needs.
