Swapping Touch Pro for Diamond

mr.jcarter · #1 (**permalink**) 11-29-2008, 03:12 AM

Is anybody else considering this?

I love the form factor of the Touch Pro, but I feel for all the problems reported, multiple of which I have encountered, the Diamond may provide more satisfaction.

I'm not trying to create a thread that compares/contrast the Pro vs the Diamond, nor create one that list all the issues people are having with their Pro's. (A nice job of that is done here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=45140) I just want to see how many TP users are seriously considering making a move to the Diamond.

i had too many hardware problems with the diamonds i had to switch back...but my pro seems to work fairly well. i learned early on that i can't use an onscreen keyboard for excel, so the diamond is no longer an option for me.

I switched from the Pro back to the Diamond and love it!

Diamond is a much more solid device and seems to have many less quircks.

i have both and use the pro way more than my diamond. dont use hard kb so not a selling point either. sd card does it for me. jmo

So if the Diamond had a SD slot would that be your device of choice?

If I wanted a Diamond I would have got one.... you get a Touch Pro because of its form factor IMO and you don't get that by getting a Diamond.

sd is a dealbreaker for me
hardware kb is nice but not necessary

Is it the size of the Diamond that makes you prefer it over the Pro (SD issue aside) or are there other things ie. better build quality?

Also, how much do you text?

The reason I ask is because the lack of an SD slot is something I can live with, I'm more concerned about losing my keyboard.

there are alot of people switching. i think even though the Pro has more balls, I think the diamond is a better quality phone.
