To think, the original version was even more thinner, though the bigger battery is justified.

I had a Mogul before I swapped it, and while it was a dependable workhorse, sexy and light it was not. After handling the Diamond, I gotta admit not looking forward to a just as thick and heavy Touch Pro in my pants.

So does size trump keyboard? I'm still undecided. I guess I'm used to lugging around a Mogul size brick, but the more time I spend with the Diamond, I gotta ask, "Do I really want to?"

YES. YES. YES!

I had all the same concerns as you about switching from a Mogul. However, the size of this phone is amazing for what it accomplishes. The SIP (any method) is lightining quick and extremely responsive.
