How about simply rotating the screen the 'old' way? For instance, on my Titan I assigned a hardware button for rotating the screen. You can probably do something similar on the Diamond (though maybe not a hardware button)...

Although, are you sure gsen doesn't work on Telus - that doesn't make much sense?

Why wouldn't GSEN work on Telus?

I remember my Touch, when using the 6.1 ROM, snapping to the bottom of text messages / adjusting so that you could see what was going on when responding to text messages.

Shouldn't the Diamond be doing this, too?

It has its uses, but usually after a device has already been launched. It's garbage when it comes to getting the "scoop" on devices.

I've tried to pull up the diamond and the touch pro in the search section, but I haven't come up with anything. Any else have this issue?

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. There's loads and loads of information out about both devices, and they have nothing.

CNET posted a review of the Sprint version.

I flashed my Telus Diamond and I would like to add some more reviews showing some of the improvements with the new ROM (Juicy's).

Nice reviews. Can you have an indepth one over the keyboard. None of the online reviews go into it with much detail. Stuff like texting, online browsing without bookmarks, posting on ppcgeeks, etc...

Issues like typing ease, organic handling and landscape typing would help a lot for people musing the Diamond and the Touch Pro.

Just thought I'd share this review from Business Week.

Pre-warning, it's not a very favorable review. For those of you that were in between getting a Touch Diamond or Touch Pro, this will give you some perspective on the on-screen keyboard (which seems to be the main focus of the review).

I'm using touchpal on my sprint touch, and it automatically moves up the screen so that I can see what I am typing. Is that a feature of touchpal, or of the htc touch phone? If it's touchpal, then using it on the diamond should solve that problem.

ill ignore that review since when i had my touch i was able to text easily and i could see what i was typing in the text field at all times so ill assume the diamond is the same if not better than its predecessor at doing what im already used to. As for entering passwords yea it was a let down at first but since i only had to do that ONCE to setup email it was pretty useless to make that a downfall, also i guess nobody told them u can landscape and text now so its ALOT easier. My assessment: Reviewer is a disgruntled employee with sausage fingers.
