Re: Touch Diamond release date!

I just had a chance to play around with the Sprint version for a while. I'm certainly not a heavy user in terms of what everyone else here likely uses their phone for.

I mostly use it for the WM capabilities (work), web browsing, gps.

For these reasons I will likely keep my Touch/Vogue and not shell out the extra ~$150 for this ($250 - $100 I would get back from the Touch).

I don't care for the shell they put over WM although very catchy just not for me (although I'm sure all you will make your own =] ). The screen brightness in sunlight as I expected is pretty much the same as the Vogue (with the "bad screen"). The screen is very nice to look at and definitely does not have a squishy feel like the Vogue but a stiff feel more similiar to the Mogul.

The circular zoom feature on the key pad is cool along with the auto adjust brightness.

I found that the accelerometer didn't work when I wanted it to. I much prefer the use of the camera keys function as screen rotate on the touch.
