Sprint Diamond vs. Touch Pro

I bought a diamond right when it came out. Right off the bat I had problems. It would constantly and suddenly start to emit a loud siren that could not be stopped unless you take out the battery and if I would put it back in it would keep making noise till it felt like it was time to stop.

Sprint replaced that one and the next had similar issues. Went back they replaced it again only to have the same issues and now this one was extremely slow. I was basically forced to wait for a ROM update or switch the phone. They told me it could be more than six months for a ROM update.

So after much time with customer service I got them to send me a pro. It is a little bigger than the diamond but not much. They got the software right on with the pro. It runs a lot faster than the diamond. All the fuctions work perfectly. The diamond always had a problem with the end button getting stuck but the pro's buttons work flawlessly.

I love it and the added size does not matter it is still smaller than an Iphone. It just works. Never get a diamond. I know its a sexy phone but it doesnt work.

Hmm odd, I haven't experience any issues with my diamond other than the usual battery issue. Must have gotten a rotten apple .

Being a recent mogul user, I wanted the pro because of keyboard and sd slot but messed with the diamond first to see if I could go keyboardless. Worked out really well because I enjoy the diamond alot. GPS is responsive (3-5 secs for my position). 4gb internal is enough for me(barely scratched 2 gigs). Camera without the flash is fine with me (no need for photos at night.) As long as I can make calls, text msg, check webpages, get directions, check emails and IM (thank you palringo!) I'm happy.

Everyone has there own needs. Mines are met with the diamond.


One thing that has me concerned is that a lot of people are ditching the diamonds for pros. Hopefully this move doesn't make the diamonds extinct!

Just my 2 cents!

Both are fine is up to you If you like the Extra memory and keyboard form the SD card..

Lets see the Diamond is smaller, can get most applications that the Pro gets and has FM radio unlocked

The Touch Pro has a keyboard, SD card slot for up to 32gb when it comes out, TV out option to view your device on a big TV, and the bad thing is that FM radio is still not unlocked.

Size: Going fro the Mogul to the Pro you will think the pro is smaller and going from the Diamond to the Pro well then the pro will become almost a brick to some people.. You get used to the size. Believe me I've had both.

I am looking at this issues as well. Other than the Pro having the keyboard and a memory expansion slot, are there any performance differences between them? I have realized on my older 6700 that I don't use the keyboard and I have only been using at 2GB microSD card. I don't use it for watching movies or music. Also is there a wm kitchen for both the pro and the diamond?
