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.
Trip,

You got to play with the actual Sprint version of the Diamond?? How? Do you have any inside info you can share with us? Release date maybe?
