the verizon diamond vs the alltel diamond?

[malloryfrikknmae]

i've been reading some reviews for the htc touch diamond.. and i'm pretty sure the verizon version is worse than the alltel version? i've read that it seems to be more prone to lagging. though, obviously, i'm not sure. does anybody know first hand?

verizon's version of the phone is the only one with a diamond-faceted back, right? that little characterstic is something that i absolutely loved about it, but i have to go function over form if the verizon version is absolute garbage. the verizon diamond also is not rounded on the corners, as compared to the rounded-back diamond (like on the alltel and sprint versions.)

i know the companies are merging currently, but i still have a couple weeks before alltel is completely switched over to verizon. the diamond is only 79.99$ for alltel, but is 199.99$ on verizon. maybe i could purchase the alltel diamond along with insurance, then get the verizon phone after the complete merge a couple months in? i plan on going to alltel tomorrow to ask about it..

sorry if i am completely off here, deepest apologies if i'm being super noob
