I had a Mogul for 5 Month and then switched to the Touch which I had for almost a year now. Despite not having too many problems with the touch screen keyboard on the Touch I decided to get the Touch Pro instead of the Diamond figuring it wasn't too much bigger and I had the added bonus of the hardware keyboard.

After almost a week of ownership I have realized I almost never use the hardware keyboard both out of a combination of habit and the fact I am just as fast on the touch screen keyboard. I also realized I miss the smaller size of Touch that the Diamond would give me. Everyone talks about there being not much difference between the Pro and Diamond in size but i beg to differ. The Diamond is 14mm thick compared to 18mm on the Pro. That makes the diamond almost 25% thinner. It also weighs 4.1oz vs 5.3oz making it again almost 25% lighter. It may not sound like a lot but if you have average or smaller then average sized hands it can be substantial. I will be exchnaging my Pro for a Diamond this weekend. Again nothing wrong with the Pro, I just didn't find the hardware keyboard useful enough for me to justify the added size.
