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.

the gps lag will be fixed shortly as we get newer radios from test devices. I agree with you all the way here...
