Swapping Touch Pro for Diamond

[ProDriver77]

I'm sticking with the Pro.

Switched to the TP from a Samsung Instinct.

Considered the Diamond, but like many have already said, the SD and KB are deal-breakers for me.

Had a Touch for about 9 days. Didnt care for the on-screen keyboard. Abolsutely love the slide-out QWERTY on this one!

I think I'll be having this phone around for a long time to come!

I chose the Mogul over the Touch last year, so it was only logical to go with the TP. I had a Diamond for about a month and although it was nice, I couldn't stand it. The sensitivity issue mine had at the edge of the screen made typing difficult, but my biggest problem (oddly enough) was having to take off the back cover to soft-reset.

only way I will switch is if you put a gatlin gun on my head.

I do consider it occasionally. I bought a Diamond and never opened the box. I decided to wait for the Pro and have been using it since it came out. I want to try it, but don't want to open it up and wreck to value if I decide to sell it.

I wanted the diamond really badly, but when it comes down to it, i need a kb to type on more than anything. I send an insane amount of messages /month and on screen kb's have always been slow for me...

The expandable memory didnt mean much to me as 4gigs is a lot, and i never take my memory card out anyways. ALSO, the diamond is tiny, not much smaller than the pro but small enough that it was uncomfortable for me to hold (i have big hands).

I've come to like my Diamond but I still have opportunity to get a Pro for cheap.

Previous and nagging issues for the Diamond are:
Low battery life- not as bad Juicy's and other people's kitchen. I can leave it uncharged overnight. But it eats up battery like candy with the Youtube..

Can get hot with streams, wifi and GPS use.

Poor radio reception- kind of related to the other two


For Touch Pro users who have flashed their phones and used it for more than 3 weeks, are these problems still there?

I'm especially interested in members who swapped from Diamond and know the issues that came with the stock rom.

Thanks in advance.

I went through hell for the diamond but then paid 30 dollars more for the pro and I can't be happier.
I wouldn't go back, the keyboard is worth the extra size and the flash for camera and lantern is wonderful. But pretty much the keyboard is a must for me... and pretty soon I will buy an 8gb card for less than $15 ....and will have the option in the future for 32gb...hehe that's enough options for me to not consider the diamond...

Well that's just me thou

I did the opposite. I had the Diamond first. When the TP came out, I gave the Diamond to the wife and got myself the TP. I like the SD card (16GB added) and the keyboard. I haven't had a bit of problem with it and I'm so happy. She likes the Diamond too. It's much smaller than the Apache she used to have.
