The phone itself though has WM 6.5, slide out qwerty, 5 megapixel camera, 1 gig snapdragon processor, and WVGA display.
Spec wise, it blows the Touch Pro 2 out of the water (which, again, AT&T has the Touch Pro 2 also, and it ships with WM6.5 too). See the comparison here:

So while the projector itself may be a gimmick, the phone itself has way better specs than anything Sprint has right now. and the best WM Sprint has, AT&T also has. Sprint is behind in the game, no matter how you slice it.
Oh yeah, as for the interface- I use SPB Mobile Shell anyway. It's way better than TouchFlo. I would advise anyone who doesn't use it to try it out. I hate TouchFlo personally. SPB Mobile shell is always the first thing I install whenever I flash a ROM. The ROM I have been using for the last month+ doesn't even have TouchFlo anyway (indagroove Titanium)... |
Sense 2.5 is what I am talking about when I refer to "touchflo". I've used mobile shell and to me it is extremely outdated and is not robust. Sense 2.5 is the deepest and most functional UI there is on a smartphone, and with OMJ's latest roms for the Diamond we literally have everything a touch hd2 has on our phones and it runs perfectly, much smoother than any 2.1 rom, comparable to any android phone with a similar or better processor and almost as good as fast as the iPhone. Spec wise the LG phone does blow the TP2 out of the water but the interface is similar to that of SPB mobile shell which is why you probably like it, just a bunch of icons on the screen. Sense 2.5 provices a better workflow when jumping from one thing to another. Everything from the music libraray / browser, to contacts, facebook, twitter, local weather with mylocation, a much better e-mail browser, a built in manila home screen locker that is way better than any lock software or wm's locker....i mean the list goes on and on how much better version 2.5 is than any other of tf3d. Which is why the HD2 is so great. The Diamond is the closest to the HD2 as far as hardware similarity and the ability to port software from it provided you know how to code and resize graphics...which OMJ does. TP2's are nice dont get me wrong, but they just seem like an overweight touch pro. And I opted for the diamond over the tp to begin with because of the built in storage (4 gigs is plenty for me as I only use that space for storing cab files and music, i stream all my video) so upgrading to the tp2 didnt make sense.
The Diamond continues to be one of the most versatile phones in Sprints lineup. Why they discontinued this phone instead of upgrading the OS I will never know but they sure killed it from the start with the fruity ass maroon back cover. Thank god we were able to dye our covers black.
