It seems to be that they really cheap out or maybe cant figure out slider phones. Because the Touch and the Diamond are like tanks. My girl has dropped, tossed, and kicked her Diamond and that thing still looks brand new. All I know is if I did that with my TP it would be in pieces, full of scratches, and most likely the KB would not work anymore. I dont care to have a shiney phone why did they have to make the damn thing into a mirror? I would love it to be a matte black.
