Why is everyone leaving the diamond???

I just do not see the fascination with the htc touch pro. For a keyboard?? Touchpal is by far the easiest keyboard i have ever used on a phone. I work for an indirect Sprint store and can have whatever phone i want and i still after selling lots of pros and diamonds still choose to be with the diamond.

I have flashed a couple phones with pro roms and really think that the pro preforms slower! Not only is it bigger the keyboard is almost pointless unless your writing novels on your phone and i dont think that anyone does that, its impossible to text while you are driving (which i don't condone). Plus It makes it a two handed phone. Plus the keyboard is really small i always find myself hitting other letters and stuff.

I use tom tom on my phone and with only having 4 gig internal I have music tom tom and tons of pictures video and still over 2 gigs left! Just venting here but when you log into ppcgeeks almost every post on the home screen is something for the pro, and it never used to be like that.....

Well that should tell you something. The Touch Pro rules here. and has better future expandabilty as well. In my opinion looks better than the diamond (The Sprint version) It's definetely not slower. The carriers know it, thats why it cost more also.

No way i have flashed many customers phone over to the Pro and have had it returned many times to be switched out for a diamond because of speed and freezing etc... Plus if your a pocket guy than its just so big. I'm not saying the pro is a bad phone its a great phone and i could have one for free but i think the diamond set the bar for how big a phone should be. Plus i have taken pictures in a couple bars and all the pics have came out great.

He's just mad that Mike has switched to the Pro

Anyway, I just tried TouchPal for the first time today and OMG, it makes a HUGE difference on the Diamond. I guess I might stick with it for awhile.

theres the problem, too many bars. the pro is better simply put. call sprint and ask them. its there flagship (for now) for a reason. now sober up and get the pro.

More memory, SD card & camera flash. I use TouchPal & have never used the hardware KB once.

If I could buy a Diamond with those features, I would buy it tomorrow.
