Diamond not getting WM 6.5?

[kwatcha]

Anyone why the reason the Diamond not getting the 6.5 upgrade like the Touch Pro? They are basically the same phone without the keyboard...not sure why HTC is dissing the Diamond.

I think this was Sprints choice. I am also pretty sure that the memory on the TP is larger than the diamond, which may have a lot to do with it.

You would think they would port it over...I had the Pro and hated how slow and heavy it was...I love my Diamond though...

You think the diamond is faster than the TP? I have had the exact opposite reaction. My diamond was slow and the batt life was terrible, my TP is much faster, and while the batt isn't that great, its much better!

Hm, are we comparing apples to apples here? Did you both compare a newer phone with an update ROM to an older one? Pro does have twice the rom storage! I have a diamond and I always thought they were the same minus KB, now I'm officially jealous

Anyhow, the TP getting 6.5 means that any worthwhile upgrades with make it into the Kitchens and into the Cooked Roms for the TP and the diamond, so don't sweat it, I've been running cooked 6.5 based roms for a few months now on my diamond.

Yeah...I ran them both stock with updates and I hated the TP bro....I thought I was keyboard dependent, but the lag when going to landscape with the keyboard and hitting front buttons and having to wait killed me...It also felt bulky to me from the extra weight of keyboard...

I now run the Diamond with fingerboard2 and love it...As with most things its probably all just preference, but I really did try hard to like the TP....

I want to know where this info's coming from. the source i've seen for the upgrade has always been a CS email or chat, and I don't believe anything they say until it's in black&white (not RGB)

Cool, I had never heard anyone say that. fingerkb2 is much better than any soft kb for sure! And the kb on the TP lags pretty bad, but all in all I def like the kb and I haven't had any trouble with it being slow.

So far sprint doesn't seem to be getting the Diamond 2.

Might be that Sprint sold a lot less Diamonds than Pros.
