....kinda find it funny that now people complain about not having the built in memory when before people were griping so much about not have expandable memory on the Sprint and other diamonds. (infact thats why some people have moved to the pro. for that very reason)

As far as specs go the TF3D on this phone is more optimized (if you get it you will notice its ALMOST on par with some of the later roms here) and the phone will come with the diamond back (plus for some minus for others)

Only thing I dont like about it personally is that the TF3D color scheme that was chosen for the phone. its got better background (mostly black) then vzw stock pro but the burgundy and lime green highlights to me make for a terrible combination (almost girlish no offense) definitely would have to change that.

other than that the phone would be my pick for average consumers looking to move into WM for the first time (since TF3D is so simple and this will cost less than the pro (VZW pricing anyways)

yeah yeah vzw took the ram down but honestly at first I thought it would matter or I would care but I have had many loaded roms and cooked a few myself and haven't had any true issues with the phone functionality or capabilities. guess to me its like if it does what I need it to do with no lag or very little resets I dont truly care.

Not to say I agree with some of VZW's marketing choices (in fact I despise some of our idiotic practices sometimes) I praise them for taking the time to at least put a microSD slot into the phone so that people have alot more options and will most likely keep them phones in the long run rather than switching to another phone that does have expandable memory (ie Pro, Omnia)

sry for double posting but almost forgot

the phone will be virtually Identical to the VZW touch pro minus the keyboard which will mean it will be the same for the g sensors on the phone.

(rumors of the no G senors thing need to go away. heard enough about that on from the Pro launch)

can we use the custom roms that we are now using like this one? since it does not have internal storage and now has a flash. seems like we need a whole new custom rom for the vzw diamond. I wanted to use the stock vzw rom.... for texting and picmail as i cant with this rom....

Verizon is famous for dumbing down there phones why is everyone so surprized?

Hell, with a flash & removeable storage it's actually better than the Sprint version.

Agreed. Why? Because you don't have to worry about losing your data if your phone breaks and can get bigger sizes (can you say 16GB?).

All this talk... It will have the same RAM as VZW TP, 192MB total, only 128MB of which is user accessible. MicroSDHC slot capable up to 16GB instead of 4GB internal. As far as anything else goes hopefully I have my demo phone soon then I'll post all the info you want, and hopefully someone will help me with a ROM dump unless someone else beats me to it.

GPS?

everyone made such a big deal about the crippling when the touch pro came out, but the fact of the matter is that after having the crippled vzw tp for 4 or so months and comparing it to 3 of my friends that have sprint/alltel tp's, its really not the earth shattering difference that many think it is
