Unhappy Not a believer yet

I just received my Diamond Thursday. My first impression is not great. After having the Vogue for the past 6 months I don't really see a huge difference. Immediately out of the box the phone would not connect to the internet. After spending an endless evening with the so called Sprint Techs, they finally had me do a master reboot that corrected the problem. The tech stated that I was the 5th caller today with the same problem. Now that I can go on the internet, I have discovered the battery gets very hot and runs down in about 30 minutes with heavy use. Although the screen is nice and the apps look impressive, I am not sold on this phone yet. With Outlook you are able to sync all your contacts and numbers, but when you add a picture to the contact you get an error message on the PC every time you sync the phone. Maybe after a little tweaking I will come around and enjoy my Diamond as much as the Vogue. I do have to admit the Vogue was not great until I added a few programs I discovered on this site. Hope this review does not hinder your decision in purchasing the phone because like with all new phones they will get the bugs out soon.
