For Those who upgraded from Touch to Diamond - Page 2

I have a vogue, diamond and pro, all three are great but I find I use the TP more than the other two. I never use the hard keyboard, I got use to the on screen keyboard on the vogue, but the TP has a memory slot, 16GB card right now, a flash for the camera and video out. And with the larger battery in the diamond the pro is not that much bigger.

Diamond forever...................LOL. I have a Touch and Touch Diamond, the Diamond is far better than the Touch. The Pro would be nice if you prefer the keyboard and card slot. I have yet to come close to using the 4gb storage though on my diamond. I guess it helps that I have a 16gb iPod Touch for my music and games and such. Not sure that I would like the extra bulk of the Pro. Just my 2 cents though. Either would make a great purchase.

I'm considering buying one, but it looks like the only noticeable difference is a bigger (resolution and size) screen? Are there some customizations available only to the diamond?

Any feedback from those afflicted with the phone tweaking bug would be appreciated.

I upgraded from a Touch back in October and it helps that I was able to sell my Touch and a broken one for almost 2/3 of what I paid for my Diamond...

You are leaving out other important features...

Wifi... Which I thought was more or less useless with an unlimited data plan until I found WMWifiRouter!!!! Now I don't need to find an open WAP to use my iPod Touch...

accelerometer - very cool when used with apps that will switch your display automagically to landscape

accelerated graphics....

Better camera - 3.2MP versus 2.0MP

I'm sure there are other benefits I am leaving out but that's just a start....

Upgrade! You'll thank yourself later....

Who ever the idiot was that put the reset button on the diamond under the battery cover should be fired! I miss my 8gig memory card too.

I agree with you on the reset button. Might Mike's new ROM has a soft reset program built in though which makes it ALOT easier to do. I think there are other ones out there as well. I hated having to pop off the dang battery cover just to get to that!!!

The Diamond does have the earlier devices (Touch, Mogul, etc.) severly outgunned, but for me, the absolute best reason that the Diamond (and Pro) is hands down better, is the screen.

The image quality is stunning. Compared side-by-side to a Touch, you'll wonder how you ever "got by" with such a low-res and fuzzy screen. I even did a comparison with my Mac-fanboy buddy's (lower res) Iphone and even he grudgingly admitted the Diamond is better.

LMAO.. I bet he hated having to say anything was better than the all mighty iPhone. HA. It does have one heak of a display. I never put it side by side with my Touch though until just now, how did I ever get by with that trashy thing????

It killed him to admit. Then I put on my A2DP stereo headset (which Iphone doesn't support) and cranked Metallica, just to rub it in.

Good one. You can't go wrong with some old trusty Metallica.
