You were the same exact way when you had your touch and people had there mogul. True the touch had a few advantages over the mogul (which is not the case with the diamond and the pro....hardware i'm speaking of a far as ram and what not) but even still those phones were very compareable. But let you tell it the touch ran circles around the mogul lol. Quit being so bias. I'm starting to think that if you don't have it then you don't like it. i love the diamond but prefer the touch pro and it's just as fast if not faster.

huh??? dude thats not a bias. two of my dudes that work in the sprint store with me both ordered touch pros. i tweaked both of their's and they both still couldnt figure out why the diamond seemed so snappy compared to theirs, needless to say, both of them sent the TP back, one went back to his BB and the other one switched to a diamond and said the same thing, that it seems way more stable.

I never said one was better than the other. The TP has a lot of things I want. And honestly if they would have came out at the same time, i prob would have chose the pro. But i got the diamond, and i LOVE this thing, and most people i know with the pro hate it or have major beef with it. So, as i said before, when u compare the speed of the two side by side, if you have ever had the chance, the diamond performs a little quicker. not to say the TP is a slouch by any means, but i said in MY OPINION. the diamond feels slightly snappier. Im not biased either way towards either one. I love both of them.

Yeah, I backed the original Touch over the mogul ten fold, cuz that wuz just a better device. The Diamond and TP are both huge leaps in technology, whats not to love about either?? SO bruh, check your facts, I work in a Sprint corporate store, I use both day in and out.

Lastly, same hardware specs do NOT mean same performance. Go buy a Acer Laptop with a Intel Core2duo 2.0 Ghz chip it, and match it spec for spec with one made by Sony, or Dell, and you will see that the sony or dell will have a slight edge in performance. same specs, different performance.

Actually the Touch did run circles around the Mogul in Success's defense, however his brief blackberry conversion and subsequent board desertion are unforgivable.

lol may the ppcgeeks gods forgive me!!

Are you smoking something without writing on it before you post? Look at your own post and show me how you make any sense...

And then you wrote this later in the same post...

Make up your mind. Is it that they have exactly the same specs and could not be any different in speed or performance, as you said in the beginning of your post, or that the Touch Pro is just as fast if not faster, as you stated in the end of your post?

I love when people contradict themselves.

Also, I owned two Titans and two Vogues, at different times, and in my opinion, Success is dead on... the Touch was hands down a better phone than the Mogul when it came to performance. Sure, the Titan had some features that I wish the Vogue had, but speed and performance wise, it smoked the competition.

I also own a Diamond and a Touch Pro right now, and I think they are close to the same in performance. But I would honestly say that, in my opinion, the Diamond gets a slight edge.

I agree, they're exactly the same OS & hardware so to claim one is way faster than the other is total nonsense.

I have a Sprint TP activated on Verizon & I love the thing, but I gotta say I NEVER use the harware KB (I use the Diamond compact qwerty in portrait mode with T-9 in SMS-chat) & if I could get a Diamond with a removeable storage card I would be just as happy with either phone.

i think there are just as many complaints for both anyway...
i have 3 pros and 1 diamond. i have no complaints with two of the pros. the other seems good except the capacitive panel is kinda sticking out on the top left. the diamond gets hotter than all the pros and the back button doesn't give feedback or click (kinda like walking around all day with gum stuck to ur shoe). i expected the heat cause it's thinner, but other than the sticky key i have no complaints with the diamond either. returning the diamond today for a new one.. hopefully i'll be set then.
we're going to hear more complaints than rave reviews on here, but just remember the pro is newer so were going to hear more complaints about them right now, doesnt really mean its more prone to problems. people with bad diamonds probably either ranted enough/fixed the problem or exchanged for a pro when it came out (and now they're whining about that).

i've had 3 diamonds, and 2 pros... and the pro is quicker than the diamond. i don't know why, but its much more responsive. i noticed it the first day i had it.

right. im not saying the diamond doesnt have any major problems, the diamond has its issues also. all im saying is I find my diamond quicker on stock rom that any TP on stock rom that i have tried.
