Re: Keep Diamond or go to Pro?

I had the Pro and switched to the Diamond. Very happy now!

The Diamond is basically the same as the Pro if you don't have an issue without a slide out keyboard. The big deal for me was the size. I know the units don't measure that much difference, but their is a huge difference.

The Diamond is almost identical in size to the BB Pearl and the it's a bit thicker (slightly) than a Moto V9M, but the Moto is actually longer and wider!

I love this phone and 4 gb is more than I've ever used on a phone even with my company's db on it, by almost 2x.

Pro has the card program, micro sd slot, slide out kb, video out and soft reset on the outside.

I actually have found the Diamond to be a much more solid device all the way around...
-No creaking in your hand
-Clear earpiece sound and mine is much louder than my Pro was
-Much smaller, especially the feel of it
-My Diamond is much snappier with stock ROM than my Pro was and batt life is way better
-No silver on the sides, it's a shiny black (I like it a lot better)
-The camera seems like it catches more vivid details in pics
-Alarm works the way it's supposed to
-My Diamond has obvious better screen touch response on the corners where the Pro was not sensitive enough on edges at all and overall much better

My only down side to the Diamond, would be the maroon back, but I'm actually getting used to it and may even prefer the color soon.

Boy that got long!
