Wait, does playing with it make it grow a slide-out keyboard? Oooo, cool!
I'm in the "cheaper, trailing edge" camp.
Touch for $100 is a very good platform. All the HTC eye candy is rapidly being moved over by the various hacker dudes, because other then the vga display, the guts are very similar across the HTC line from the touch forward.
Me, coming from the apache (whoa, there, big fella!) the mogul/tilt sized keyboard devices are quite bearable since I'd rather have the keyboard... looking forward to the vga/flat screens for sure, and really pulling for them to abandon the stylus and go to the glass/capacitive vs the plastic/scratchpad/resistive touch technology.
So yay HTC, keep developing new layers on top of windows mobile "today" screens, keep advancing the hardware, thanks for finally realizing 64mb ram isn't gonna do it, please consider better battery technology, and try not to make your phones run so hot that you can't hold them, should you actually want to use one for more then 3 minutes in a row.
(And yes, of course the Diamond will be better when the R2 hardware comes out - quietly, unknown to all of us - and a new rom is released. That will be in about 3 months, or about 3 months before it's EOL... Ah progress!)
