for all that is wondering how much thicker the Pro is here is a good comparison.

The problem with that comparison is the Diamond is the GSM which is much thinnner than our Sprint/Tellus Diamonds. If I used only that comparison it would be for sure that I'd not be interested in the Pro and it would be a deal breaker for my b/f... but the difference between Sprint Diamond and Sprint Pro is slight.

I know most people like having the bigger 1300mAh battery, but I was bummed when the Diamond went from 11mm to 15mm thick for the Sprint version. I put my phone in my pocket, so the thinner the better for me.

FYI, if anyone wants to know how thick the GSM Diamond is compared to the CDMA...just take the battery cover off. I work with a guy that has the GSM version.

Fair comparison or not, I am happy with the thickness of my Diamond. Anyhting thicker would be too think for me.

Don't you guys think that sprint will also increase the thickness for the CDMA pro as well? Won't that make sense?

Actually I think that's off... but not sure. I heard the GSM Diamond is 11mm thick, but if I am wrong and it's 13 or something, then you are correct.

Anyways exact measurements of mine with a digital caliper:

With the case on, and on the black strip the CDMA is 14.92mm
With the case on, on the average depth of the CDMA is 14.42mm
Without the case, the lowest point is about 12.8mm

about your freind who has the GSM daimond - if I threw the GSM battery into the CDMA would there be anything sticking up to the original thickness of the CDMA?
