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.

if u drop it on concrete teh chrome paint will chip... i think you're able to return it for that reason even though it'syour fault

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.

thanks, i mention the keyboard because i wonder if it breaks just from everyday use not from abuse
