How many people are going to buy a Mogul with a Diamond at the same price?

People who want a keyboard?

I'm still amazed at how fast my friend can type on his 6700 versus my SIP on my Vogue. I've tried SPB full, PCM (with custom skins,) and none of them come close to the hardware keyboard.

With that said, I still can't decide if the hardware keyboard is important ENOUGH for me. What it all boils down to is whether or not the Touch Pro is a hell of a lot thicker than the Diamond--(for Sprint.) I keep hearing that the CDMA versions are very similar in size--and if that is the case, I see no reason to get the diamond....

I have to agree here, if the difference is only 4mm I will def. wait for the Pro

Good point.
I'm much better with my Apache hardware kb than with any onscreen keyboard I've tried (and I've tried a few), but I'm willing to lose it for the Diamond. If I was really hard-core, I'd wait for the TouchPro.

I guess it will at least be out by 11-01-08, lol.

I heard from a very unreliable source that the Touch Pro will be soon be in my hands... and for a decent price...

My source tells me that it will have 1GB of RAM.

This thread has to be the geek’s soap opera...as the diamond turns.

This week ScrapMaker announced 1GB of RAM while chappy was having an affair with the Diamond 4 years ago.
