After seeing those latest spec sheets on the Sprint Diamond and Sprint Touch Pro, Im more split than I thought I'd ever be about these devices. I'm currently a mogul user now and I love the keyboard, but as a long time WM user I can survive just fine wihtout it. The Diamond now supposedly getting 256Mb of RAM, the same 1350mAh battery and being much much thinner than the Touch Pro is leaning me hard towards it. If the Diamond had a microSD slot it would be the icing on the cake.

Not that these devices really will need much attention from Sprint with new ROMs after they are launched, but do you think the Touch Pro will get priority support from Sprint the way the mogul seems to now over the Touch?

How many of your are as split on this as me?

Only reason I'd consider the Diamond over the Pro is because it's not as thick. That being said, I don't think I could go with a phone that doesn't have a qwerty keyboard. As much as I could probably get used to not having a keyborad, it's so much easier to send detailed business emails with it.

I do not need a keyboard. Just like iphone users don't care about it. And FYI, Not having a card slot is not just all disadvantage. Having a built in storage make file transfers much fast. Ever experienced videos on ur card not syncing with the audio? Well that's just one downside with cards. Hmmm we allput out GPS map in the storage card right? internal storage Might work well with the maps too. some of us might loose storage space, But U'll gain speed with internal storage.

Touch Pro... I never ever EVER want to be without a keyboard again... I had a Touch for 3 months... Went back to the Mogul the 2nd month and sold it to a friend the 3rd...

Resistive touch screens just aren't responsive enough to be used for fast tapping like a hard keyboard...

I am torn also. A keyboard would be nice, but not needed.

No MicroSD card really scares me. I only have a 2gb MicroSD now, so in all reality I shouldn't miss it.
