So based purely on aesthetics, I like the Diamond much better.

Just my opinion...
100% agree i bought one and resigned and its going back to Best Buy and going back to out of contract with my Diamond

-Chrome looks tacky as heck and scratches like butter (already have a tiny scratch in the chrome after 4 days and i never have a single mark on any of my phones).

-It does feel much much larger even at only 3-4mm thicker, its also taller. It must be the curves and how its rounded but it feels a lot bigger in the hand and it much heavier.

-The build quality of the Diamond seems sturdy and flawless and the Pro already has a few nasty flaws in build quality. The dpad is uneven (see pro thread about it, but it sticks up on one side basically), i think the earpiece is a little worse (tiny tiny bit), the slider keyboard is horribly designed. When the phones closed, the keyboard can twist 5 degrees or so either way to the top portion. Also when you tap the screen the two halves of the phone "clack" together (top hits the bottom half tapping the screen). And of course the moving part (keyboard) will be the weak point and first to break. VERY disappointed in the build quality for a $600 "pro" business device

Overall im FAR from impresssed to resign from out of contract SERO and drop money even if it is a cheaper $260 than Pro's normal price.
