Re: Size of Diamond enough not to switch to Pro?

I had a Mogul for a year and a half. I stuggled with the the choice of a diamond or a pro. Then, when I decided, the pro was out of stock. I took the Diamond thinking I would miss the keyboard and starage card ...

I don't. I love my diamond and wouldn't trade if I could.

Re: Size of Diamond enough not to switch to Pro?

size made the biggest difference for me. Thought it was worth giving up the sd card and the keyboard. plus i couldnt stand knowing that the stupid back cover looses its colour

Re: Size of Diamond enough not to switch to Pro?

As a Mogul owner for 3 or 4 months, I right away noticed that the size and the bulk of the phone was completely noticeable specially having upgraded from a Sanyo Katana. When the screen on my Mogul cracked, I asked my parents for a fix. To fix the phone was going to be about $150 dollars. Luckily for me, the Diamond had already been out and I researched it. I was stunned at its video demonstrations and positive feedback. For me, personally, the keyboard is a waste. When I had my Mogul, and I still do, I never used the keyboard. I got really used to the phone keypad style SIP. Using T9 prediction my texts were accurate and fast! As for the 4GB issue, I only put songs I actually listen to on my phone so that I may pass off my phone as an MP3 player during school, and it works quite nicely. For the rest of my A/V collection I use my 80GB Zune 2.0. For me the choice was quite easy: DIAMOND!!!

Re: Size of Diamond enough not to switch to Pro?

Just received my Diamond yesterday and it is AMAZING. I don't miss the keyboard at all as I have been using a Touch with TouchPal. The screen is beautiful and the phone is very compact - less wide and longer than my Touch but not unbearably thicker - it feels the same as my Touch does inside a case.

I do miss the sd slot for one reason only - emergency backup. I do worry about making a quick recovery if the phone is somehow hosed. It happened once or twice to me, and I was very happy to have the Sprite backup on a card when I received a new Touch under warranty.

This phone ROCKS!

Re: Size of Diamond enough not to switch to Pro?

I took the smaller size over the keyboard too.
Love my Diamond!
