Sprint Vs. Verizon Diomond - Page 5

Lack of an accelerometer is horrible. The accelerometer on the GSM Diamond is awesome. It is extremely sensitive and doesn't just sense horizontal and vertical positions, but everything in between.

I'm hoping I can trade my GSM Diamond for Sprint's, but I'm not too optimistic.

I remember in Computer Science class the first thing we learned is that software governs all hardware

well telus will have the diamond and the pro...I will be purchasing it from them
because the phone (at least diamond) is 449 dollars which is cheap!
but verizon has so turned me off...no accelerometer and cutting the ram in half...is the cheapest move ever

If you think 449 is cheap when it only cost a few bucks to make then you need to ur head examined

Secondly, no one knows if the VZW will be a "lesser" model and everyone one is going off of something that isnt even factual yet.

I should have told her I would if she could get me one heck of a discount on it.

Elk Grove, CA? If so, ha! I dealt with the same guy when I bought my Dell XPS One (Red) all-in-one desktop last week!

So do we know if the curves on the top/bottom as well as the flat backing are final?

What about for the Touch Pro [or :shivers: herman] I know I say it alot, but I hope the diamond-beveled back cover will not be replaced by Sprint. I also want it to be square.

we are now officially renaming the HTC Herman to the HTC PeeWee
