Re: Diamond Reviews

Well all I did was play with one in the store for about 40 minutes, and wasn't going to post here...but thought I still may as well.

- Surprised that it was thicker than my vogue I realize that it has 4gb internal and wi-fi but...still
- Surprised that the sensitivity of the screen was virtually the exact same, still unresponsive as heck.
- Loved how much faster it was than the vogue (and mogul) (like every other device out there lol). You can dial on the on-screen dial-pad without any lag whatsoever.
You could also use the camera MUCH better than on the vogue/mogul. The screen didnt tear half as much with motion, videos were much smoother (and yes I have tried changing the fps on my vogue). So that was really great. Overall, the speed alone almost sucked me in (I'm a sucker for speed, quad-core all the way (especially coming from a vogue ).

Though as for speed I must say that when going between the tabs in manilla it wasn't too smooth. I couldn't like point out any specific lag but...idk - just didn't seem like it was quite keeping up.
- Thought that for some reason the very corners of the screen seemed somehow harder to get to respond than the rest. No response from exit button and start menu 40% of the time as compared to about 3% of the time on the vogue.
- was REALLY impressed with how smooth the new touchflo was. Was MUCH more like it was actually smoothly gently scrolling.

(yes I did hurry and sneak resco registry on there and did both screen sensitivity hacks just in case...lol)

Conclusion. It it very close to exactly what the vogue should have been, but still not much to be excited about. I'm still sticking w/ the HD. Of course I realize that this store one could have had defects but...well idk. There ya have it straight from a y10 month vogue user and like a month on a mogul
