worth waiting for the D2?

Just got a Diamond and I knew there'd be something coming out soon to replace it - always happens. From what I've seen the Diamond2 has the expansion slot and 5mp camera. Is that the only major changes we know of? Should I hold off on my upgrade to the Diamond and wait to see if the D2 is coming soon?

Re: worth waiting for the D2?

After going from my Mogul -> Diamond then playing with a friends Touch Pro..... I miss my hardware keyboard.

I'll be going either Pre or Touch Pro 2. Completely undecided at this point.

Re: worth waiting for the D2?

I think the Diamond 2 has a WVGA screen. I don't know if it will be a good fit in my pocket like the Diamond is because the Diamond 2 is longer but I will have to try a dry fit when it comes out. I may miss the d pad also but on second thought, I don't use the d pad much anyway so it probably won't be a deciding factor regarding purchasing it.

Re: worth waiting for the D2?

Hey I have the same question but for the TP2. Should buy a TP now and then upgrade to the TP2 when my current contract is up or just wait for the TP2 altogether?

Try the SIP TouchPal. It works for me!

Also I ain't really waiting because upgrading is expensive. If there is an insurance update then I will do that.

I do like the new way of zooming in and out (finger swiping)
