Why is everyone leaving the diamond???

[savior02]

i have a touch running the latest 20931 rom that i highly recommend with touchpal and 2d..i do it all on this phone....but im just bored and upgrading to the touch pro wont do it for me..im going to wait for the palm pre..and i hate palms! but the new phone with its new web based ui, i think it will be sick....anyone with web capabilities can write an app for it....it makes me excited because i like to type with one hand also..the pro is really hard to do that..and i do it on my touchpal with my touch all the time..and now the pre will allow it also so i cant wait!! just waiting to find out if flash will come out the box!

i like my diamond...the only reason i would buy a pro is the keyboard...but id rather not have a brick in my shorts

as far as juicy and mightymike leaving the diamond upgrades...i think they would be better off not even starting their custom rom than to just leave it and possibly not come back..yeah mikes version might be good but the possibilities are endless and theres no such thing as final

Whats all this about the developers moving over to PROs? I still see Juicy, Mighty, Calcu, Myself and many others still releasing updates for Diamonds. I myself LOVE my Diamond and would I switch to a Pro? Maybe, if I hadn't gotten locked out of being able to swap to it for a $50 difference, I'm not paying full price for the added features. I am more than satisfied with all the features in the Diamond and the only feature that I AM missing a bit sometimes is having a flash in the camera as taking pictures in a dark club or bar is almost impossible with the Diamond.

But yeah, development wise I'm not going anywhere I'm sticking with my Diamond for at least a year.

Speak for yourself. I have enough video between ripped DVD movies & recorded TV shows to get me through a week long business trip & never watch the same thing twice. You can't do that with a Diamond.

I suppose if I HAD to live with a measly 4 gig's of storage (& no expansion option whatever) I would have to rely a lot more on ORB. ORB is not a half bad option at times, but I would never want to rely on it 100% as it's simply not dependable enough. With my luck, ORB would freeze-up or lose the connection before I landed at the first airport on my itinerary & need the home computer restarted.

As I stated earlier, I could care less about the keyboard (I hate the TP KB with its tiny much too stiff keys) & if there was a version of the Diamond that included a removeable card I would actually prefer it to the TP

I don't even mind the size of the TP myself, I never put it in a pocket (I either have it in a briefcase or in a leather slip in vertical holster) & the larger size is much easier to hang onto IMHO (I actually like the size/weight of my old Titan's better than either one)

I can't believe that you would want to watch stuff during a whole week on the road on your Diamond or your Touch Pro. Do yourself a favor and buy a portable media player.

One of the reasons I own a device like the TP is so I don't have to carry extra items like an ipod, DVD player etc etc

If I'm lying in bed in a hotel room with the TP & a set of Motorola S-9 stereo BT headphones I'm good to go......

I started using mikes roms after juicy stepped down and right before he broke his phone. I know people were asking to give him money for a new phone and if he was accepting donations while making the diamond rom and than took the money and bought a touch pro i dont think that would be right.
