Diamond Vs. Pro HELP!

[Tsuekasa]

I did alot of research on both. I already know pro has expandable memory with 512 internal memory with keyboard. Diamond has the 4gig internal memory with no keyboard or expandable memory.

My father said that the pro floor model at bestbuy keyboard was loose and when you hold it the keyboard slides out. Of course this could be from people sliding it to much. But it concerns me.

Here are my questions

1. Do the diamond handle the same 3rd party software and etc as the pro?
2. Which one is faster (processing, multitasking, internet and etc)
3. Which should I choose

honestly to questions 1 and 2 the easy answer is that theyre the same exact phones running the same hardware. You can run all the same software and they are identical processors and hardware for the most part, so neither is "faster." You pointed out the only major differences. it call comes down to do YOU want or need the keyboard/more than 4 gigs.

Memory Question:
My TP says:
Storage: Total = 328.27 MB
Program: Total = 203.24 MB

Is this normal? What numbers do you guys have?

If you dont use much memory and dont need a keyboard got with the diamond but if you need expandable memory and a keyboard go with the pro both have the same speed and run the same software and the keyboards goin to be loose and wigly if your using the keyboard alot but overall both are great phones

you good man, check device info as well, you will see OS occupying about 80 mb or so.

If you do not care about SD and kb and you are ok with 4 gb go with the diamond.

Does the chrome wear off as well on the pro?

I do not think it should if you ask me it is too early for any new end user to know this question unless they are abuseive to the phone.

That only applies for the first few TPs that had a gap in the chrome siding to the unit. There is a specific range of TPs that can qualify for this return, and my first TP that had a 10/19 build date was out of that range... so don't go dropping your TPs on concrete because you want to return it, more than likely, it will get denied.


Oh for my opinion, having owned both the Diamond and Pro, If you aren't a super-heavy texter and can live with 4GB storage, the Diamond is the phone to get. It seems TF3D was designed with the Diamond in mind, and everything just looks and feels so natural. On the Pro in landscape mode, everything seems like an afterthought, from the sluggish KB in SMS, and the barebones menu in landscape. However, that 5-row keyboard makes life MUCH easier for a text ***** like me. Now only if someone (HTC) would release a real GFX driver for the device and fix the nagging bugs, we might just have THE device to get in 2008.

this thread kinda gave me a headache. the phone at bestbuy was broken because it was broken. don't ABUSE your phone, and it most likely won't break. as for the rest of the questions... it runs windows mobile. it has a vga screen. for the most part, any app that is made for windows mobile, and for vga screens, will work. does do the diamond got which do to get cause the pro got sd card ram does still keyboard and forget not have tv out without pro. i hope that helps.
