Not my cup of tea. Since the body is so skinny (across the face of the device) the extra thickness looks extra brickish to me. Looks like its about twice as fat as the Diamond.

I'll wait till I see it to pass final judgement though.

Looks shorter than the iPhone, based on the pics. Still similar in thickness to the Mogul, but I've gotten so used to my Mogul that it won't bother me. Plus, I'm figuring there'll be an "invisible shield" for this one as well, so I'll probably get that (to prevent adding extra bulk).

The Diamond looks perfect for an "alternate" choice based on people who don't need the qwerty. I use the qwerty keyboard for work emails all the time and makes it easier for me to conduct business while away from a computer.

Man, I cannot wait until this is released.

I would be surprised if this was the CDMA version. GSM version has already been released in Europe, so it would be more believable if this is the GSM version.

Well, if it WAS the CDMA version, I would be soooo happy.

It probably was the GSM version. However, if Sprint decides to release it just like that, my life would be set.

My sentiments exactly. I hope my guess is wrong and this is the CDMA version. The way the touch screen is designed, the screen is flush with the phone, so it looses that extra edge of bulk that the Mogul currently has.

I don't mind it still being a bit thicker than normal phones, due to the qwerty keyboard (which I'm hoping they'll be able to make thinner and thinner for future phones), but it definitely does look it could be slightly shorter than the Mogul (in the comparison with the iPhone). My friend compared the length of his iPhone with my Mogul and the Mogul was basically the same height.

I'll be very, very happy if Sprint releases the Touch Pro as the pictures show.
