Palm Centro vs Diamond

I wanted to open discussion about changing/upgrading from the Centro to the Diamond or Pro. I am a normal user, will not highly modify but would like to personalize and tweak some programs for fun.
I love my Centro, but am hesitant to switch to Diamond, especially wm. I tried the Touch, small buttons, needed to use stylus, and had to remember to close apps.
What I see, I love - larger screen, 3D looks easy to use for one button navigation vs above limitations. Easy use touch screen very important to me
I am semi happy with Blazer, like Opera Mini but doesn't perform well - crashes too much to be happy.
Could you give opinions? I'm sure I'm not the only one considering even though I am visiting/registered in this forum.
Also, opinions on whether Diamond has enough ram/rom to function or should I wait for Pro? Do like the idea of keyboard, similar to querty.
Yes, I am waiting to purchase so I have 30 day trade option.

Just want your opinions of comparison - no rants against Palm, it does work well for me, just good opinions.
Thanks

Re: Palm Centro vs Diamond

This is not a flame, cut down, or comparison. It's MY opinion, coming from having owned both types of devices.


The Palm OS is simple, plain, easy to use, solid and proven. Customizable to a certain point. Lots of software, support. Units, no matter what you do to them, still work and look almost the same. Overall pretty stable.

Touchflo-3d is nice, has interesting "pazzazz" effect and is definitely an eye catcher. It does get clumsy. WM is not as efficient. Touchflo-3d is not very "integrated" as a shell over the OS. WM is very customizable, lots of software and support. Can we say, it's like Windows on a PC, you get the benefits, as well as it's issues..

In the end, I would recommend that you stop by a store or borrow a friend's and play with a WM device and get to know it's nuances, so you can make your own decision.
