Why is everyone calling this a brick when it's smaller than the Mogul? To me the Mogul wasn't that big either. All those complaining about the phone being too big to put in their pockets need to keep quiet as well, lol. That's what cases and holsters are made for.

Diamond=sexy
diamond + hard keyboard = obese
just added a keyboard and it becomes obese. I'll just use the touch keyboards. LOL

This is the reason i loved my Treo 700wx because i was able to type one handed without sliding a keyboard.

I wouldn't buy the iphone even if it was as slim as playing card. Here you are complaining about the size of the Touch Pro, yet you loved your 700wx which was thick as hell too for its size... hmmm.

i really want a touch pro for the keyboard mostly. i had a 2gb card in my mogul with video, music, and cabs for all my favorite apps and it was more then enough space. this was before owning an ipod touch so all my media has moved there since.

i really like the form factor of the diamond and i might have to check out this resco keyboard. like another user asked, which keyboard was used to work the best and can you post a screenshot?

thanks!

i have the diamond now and i am going to trade it in for the pro, just for the memory card slot. i have read a few forums where the guy's phone overheated and would not come on again. sure they sent him another one but he was unable to retrieve his info from the internal 4 gigs of memory. don't get me wrong i do love my diamond, but i save alot of stuff to the memory that i worry about losing. i have it backed up to my computer, but i have to go in every night and save it all over again because my files are constantly changing. i could care less about the keyboard or the tv out. these are things that i probably won't use anyway. unless someone here has a better way of backing up my files just in case. i do love the phone so i am open for suggestions

the overheating is simply the amount of hardware in the tiny space- processor, ram, heatsinks, antennas, etc. the pro will most likely suffer the same heating up issues.

i too was set on the pro but simply dont want a honker of a phone anymore. the diamond does the same thing is a smaller package. and IMO 4gb is enough space. i have 100 mp3's, igo8, my google/youtube/etc cache, and 2 full movies and still have 2.5gb left. if youre truely a "business" customer i cant see a need for more storage for crap to tinker with instead of doing your work/job

If the device overheats, and if the heat is enough to damage components, it does not matter if it's internal storage or a mocrosd. It will still be damaged if that is ur concern. The problem with the guy is he did not backup his storage. and backups arenever stored on a place where the system u backup is.

To me the extra thickness is well worth it for the included hard keyboard. For general use and operation, the hard keyboard isn't that important to me. My problem is I do a lot of email responding and text messaging on my phone and I just can't get the speed from a on screen keyboard.

if you are worried about losing your files stored in internal storage of the diamond, then the pro can't help you either. what if you lose your phone?

phone is not a safe place to store valuable data. it is a temporary storage for on the go.
