Thinking About Buying A Touch Pro

i currently own a sprint touch diamond and i was thinking about getting a pro. i'm happy with my diamond except for the fact that its all touch and its kinda annoying to keep pullin out a stylus. should i upgrade to a touch pro? how much better is the pro than the diamond.

i have both and prefer the tp for sd card most of all. the size of the tp doesnt bother me like it does others. i dont use hard kb but seems for you that also would be a plus.

Moved to Phone Comparison Forum

I like having the qwerty I use it all the time I would say I never use the on screen keyboard

I use the TP and I love it... but I would suspect that if you are used to the size of the Diamond you might be disappointed with the TP...

Maybe look into using a more finger friendly GUI and SIP ... Kinetic scrolling and gestures and the like are more and more common in new ROMs and GUI solutions ... Try to customize before you decide to switch

With the TP2 just around the corner, I wouldn't sink a lot of $$$ into a TP now. Also, the keyboard lag and relative slow portrait to landscape switching makes the keyboard a lot less useful than it should be. It's not useless, but more frustrating to use than it should be. If you can get an insane deal or you absolutely must have a sd card slot then dive right in, otherwise I'd give it a pass.
