Sprint Touch DIamond Questions[Need answers fast!]

Hey guys I need to do this quick as I will be getting a call from Sprint later today asking what I want to do. Well my Touch Vogue's screen broke and they said they'll replace it out for me. I asked about the Diamond, she said I can get the Diamond for $75 more after MiR. So I am not sure what's a better phone. My questions are:

-Is the accelerometer unlockable? On my Touch Vogue I can hit a button to change screen rotation, is it possible to have the accelerometer activated everywhere--not just in the set programs?

-Is the red back light red, dark red, or normal red? It's not very girly is it?

-There is 4GB of included storage correct?

- How's the screen in daylight?

-Would you switch out your Touch for a Diamond? Why or why not?

Thank you!

-Is the red back light red, dark red, or normal red? It's not very girly is it? Maroon color, not girly but hopefully an interchangeable back is going to be out

-There is 4GB of included storage correct? Yes, Internal

- How's the screen in daylight? no problems viewing in daylight

-Would you switch out your Touch for a Diamond? Why or why not? Switched my touch for Diamond and it was a great decision.

Any more input? Approx 50 minutes before decision time.

i moved from a Touch to a diamond and do not regret the move.

Never had the Touch, but here are some things that are upgrades from the Touch to the Diamond:
-twice the RAM (Touch had 128 MB, right?)
-4 times the screen resolution (you have to see it to understand just how beautiful it is)
-WiFi

I actually like the back and don't think it's girly at all. I've had no problems viewing it in daylight, significantly better than my last phone (the PPC-6700)

I would switch just about any phone on the market for the Diamond (except the Pro, which is what I'll be switching my Diamond to - have to have my keyboard

)

get the Diamond. I went from a Mogul to this and only miss the keyboard. I agree with 6700Yuma about the back color and daylight viewing.

Not sure, still learning all the tweaks for the device.

It is a Dark Burgundy color, very nice and professional looking IMHO.

Yes

- How's the screen in daylight?

The best screen I have used in the bright Arizona sun.

-Would you switch out your Touch for a Diamond? Why or why not?

I did! More memory, VGA screen, & WiFi.

Thank you!

Hope this is not too late.
