how did you get it for that price?

but then again mine doesn't get too hot at all, and battery life is just fine for me, but maybe my standards in a phone are just lower then most peoples

yeah, I went from a sanyo scp8400 that never got hot and could last 3 to 4 days without charging but it's not a smartphone. So i was kinda like "what the HE**! But in all honesty the batt life is pretty good for what it is!

Well I like the size and got use to the color. Aside from that, I customized the device so the heating issue is fixed, also my battery now is amazing, guess I got lucky on that? Also I really don't need a storage card as I use Orb for ALL my media, except pictures. Plus I the length, size, and chrome of the Touch Pro doesn't appeal to me at all. Basically this Diamond suits me. Thats why it's really your choice.

I have also heard that the radio in the diamond isnt as good as the one in the touch pro. This is easily fixable though with a flash. Also I heard that the radio for the Verizon touch pro is better than both of sprints.

Yup that's how I fixed my heating issue, just flashed the VZW TP Radio.

is there an option to flash back to the Sprint Radio? or would one have to flash to the stock Sprint ROM to do so?

OS ROM is different from Radio Rom. VZW RADIO and Sprint Radio are in the Upgrades sub-forum. Sprint OS ROM along with many others are their also like Juicy's ROM.

thanks for your response. i'm well aware of the differences in OS ROM and Radio ROM. with my GSM Phones, i can reflash the original/stock ROM to restore both the OS and Radio ROM. i was asking if i could reflash the Sprint Stock ROM to reinstall the Sprint Radio. (obviously, i didn't do a good job asking my intended question.)

Oh, im not sure, I'd like to know also. Thanks,

Edit: I flashed an OS ROM (Juicy's) a few times after changing my radio to VZW, and I just now checked my radio version thanks to Juggalo, and my radio still appears to be VZW.
