Re: Diamond Reviews

I am a Sprint employee and I was able to mess around with the Diamond for about 2 hours and it is a really cool device. The screen is very clear and the Touch Flo is very easy to use, but after I was able to get used to the UI, I realized something. I realized that I was really bored with it after I got to know it. Even with all the cool features, there is one thing that I look for in a device and that is outer aesthetics. When I saw the Diamond back on the GSM version, I was really excited to get it because that is SO original and there is no other phone that has a Diamond design like that.

With all the new devices coming out and all these "easy to use" UI's, I feel that each phone is not as unique as I would like. There is the TOUCH HD that is coming out, but it will probably have the same clunky Windows Mobile 6.1 and I am not excited about that at all. We could get a new ROM for the device, but that is just setting me up to want to change it again. We can change just about anything with the software and that just makes me want to change it again. There is only one thing we can't change on a phone and that is an original design. Why not a strobing white light around the entire device? I am rambling, but is my thoughts on the Diamond. Thanks.
