Are you still getting the device after all the bad stuff we have read? - Page 4

I have my Diamond, till tomorrow or Sunday, or whenever Sprint decides to release the damn thing. I am going to trade up to a TP, I have read peoples comments, and most of them seem a bit futile. If for some reason I don't like the TP, I will just come back to my Diamond. I don't know about your individual experience with the Diamond/Pro but this screen is super responsive.
There's just no way you could ever keep up with the amount of speed from the On screen keyboard with a QWERTY. As soon as I get my TP I will take a video to show you just what I mean. That's really the only complain I have is the battery life but we all want more juice, so that's not surprising that most would complain about it.

I got mine for 202.00 from Best Buy on the 25th, and I wouldn't trade it for any other phone out there (Except possibly the touch HD....but prolly not even that)

I have about ten days to keep the diamond or trade for the pro. I think most of the problems of the pro are are shared by the diamond. However, I really like the size of the diamond and have learned to type pretty well using my two thumbs -shocking since leaving the 700wx.

Since I can live without the keyboard, I have to think of why i would upgrade? How good is the tv out? Why would i need more than four gigs of memory?

I was hesitant but decided to pick it up tonight since a local BB had it back in stock.

So far, it is a big time upgrade from the 6700 I was using. So far very pleased and it will get a work out in business and fun!!

I love my Pro and I'm loving it more and more with each passing day.

It has a few bugs but it's a HUGE improvement over my Mogul.

I am going to wait til they smooth some things out, mainly just the battery issue.

Where's the "I already have it and I enjoy it, what bad stuff are you talking about?" option?

Honestly, what's the point of some of these polls? Haven't we had enough "are you going to get it despite the XYZ?" The only people making them are people who don't even have the thing.

i'm right here with you...TV out.. hard kb... flash camera... not sure if it would be worth it for me cause i'm fine with the default kb, size and weight. i wont be able to properly decide until i can judge them side by side in a sprint store... whenever THAT day comes!

You can compare them side-by-side at Best Buy....

I got it and the biggest problem is the smudges (and that is a total non-issue)

I LOVE IT!! very few problems if any! haven't had it long enough to really test the battery but with my usage paradigm (extra points for big word?) it seems to last enough. I got a car charger for $20 just incase though
