Re: Is Anyone Actually Keeping Their Diamond

I like to chase the newest thing when I can, which for phones is every two years. Logically, the touchpro seemed like the best deal because for only 50 bucks more I could get a sd slot, video out, keyboard, and flash for the camera. It sounded like a no brainer, and like many others I counted the day when I could trade my diamond in for it.

I am so glad the best buy had one on display, because it let me know that I really don't like the size of the pro for a touch screen device. It is harder to navigate with one hand. And while I was a little more accurate with the keyboard, I hated the fact that I can't feel when I have hit a key. I like the color of the diamond better.

I went to the sprint store and played with one for twenty minutes, which included a lot of texting. If anything, the experience has let me know how much I like the diamond.

I think what some people miss on here is that the evaluation of a phone can be as much subjective as it is objective. The other issue is you have to know what you will use the phone for. I really don't know why I would use more than 4gigs of memory? For what? I don't want video out on my phone. What would I use that for?

So for the people who really want or need the pro go for it, but the diamond, with all of its imperfections is the phone for me- at least for now. The only real big problem I need them to fix is the gps lag, which will eventually have me fighting to get my money back if they don't fix it.
