No - I hate the looks of it. I liked the looks of the Mogul & Touch. Not crazy about either the red Diamond or the chrome/gray Pro. The red I can tolerate, but the black/chrome/gray is like a fat person wearing stripes!

Re: Ugly

I think the chrome and gray makes it very stylish. Its probably supposed to compete with the glass screen and shiny look of the iphone. Its supposed to be a business powerhouse (even though most of us play on it just as much) and its very simple clean and utilitarian unlike the horrible touch color. People probably wouldnt take u serious if u go to a big business meeting and pull out a red or purple phone especially a businessMan. So there u have it. Its a never fail combo like a candy gray paint job with chrome wheels.

Re: Ugly

I cant believe you guys are complaining about this. I think the chrome stripes are slimming! I guess thats just my opinion though. Have you guys seen how fat and chunky the black tp's battery cover makes the phone? To me, its like having a muscle car with an aftermarket kit; it does add to it a bit, but it makes it look better than without it!

Re: Ugly

I completely agree that they ruined the pro. I was going to hold out after seeing what they did to the diamond but I think they made the pro worse! This is supposed to be the "business" phone and they have chrome all over it? No thanks. I am buying the diamond and hoping that I can buy a black battery cover later.

Re: Ugly

I respect everyone right to there own opinion. I am not a chrome guy myself but I am not crazy about the diamonds red either. I really wish they would have just left them both all black.

Re: Ugly

I'll pass on the reddish gayness of the diamond.
But then again.
What I really wish was that this was offered in more than one color.
While this isn't my top option for a phone, I still have to look at it.
And not everyone likes the same thing.
mabey they could have included different back plates or something?
Though with a phone like this, which probably won't sell as much as say a Katana, or Samsung phone, offering multiple colors would be a total waste of time.
I don't mind the dark colors.

I would rather have this than the red on the diamond.
If I'm getting any color it had better be neutral.

Re: Ugly

I just thought about something. You guys are very much right in saying that the chrome isnt business like... well, is it possible that sprint dumbed it down so that they can release another device aimed directly at business customers? Maybe X1? Im just speculating here.

It really doesnt make sense that they redesigned these phones, but once again, im actually happy with it.
