"I feel there's things left out in this review..."
Pros: Great design, hardware and software!
Cons: No expandable memory, but meh, I barely use 1Gig of memory on my Mogul.
Summary: I read a review from MobileTechReview.com about this phone, and their review was way more in depth then Bonnie's. They played with the YouTube and SprintTV and the reviewer thought that the two were excellent quality. With the amount of memory and horse power that this phone has, how many apps is she running there? I mean she said that it was starting to lag when running programs with Sprint TV? What the hell are you going to be running when you're WATCHING tv? I can understand if she said she was playing music, but come on!!!
The 4GB of memory doesn't scare me either, since I use ORB for all my multimedia, that gives me more space for my applications anyways. I have the mogul, and I think this is a great phone, of course it can be better, which is why i want to get the Diamond. I was gearing my way to the iPhone, but the pro's on the Diamond outweighs the pro's of iPhone. I mean they got a dedicated app for text messaging photos and multimedia to phone numbers now (but I don't think you can receive though ) :( that's still a major plus in my book.
Also she mentioned nothing about the new accelerometer in the device (aka G-Sensor for HTC). No mention how the Opera browser was customized for the Diamond, that when zooming in with the touch wheel, the text will format to the width of the screen, so you don't have to horizontally pan left to right. She also didn't mention the fact that it's 528Mhz + 288MB memory is what makes this device a rock hard performance block in your hand. I mean that's like 30% faster and like what... almost 5 times more memory then normal PPC phones.
Again, go to that website, you'll find a more detailed indepth review then Bonnie's... she left out way too much 'need to know' information about this phone and totally suckered the Diamonds score, giving it less then what it deserves!
I mean already people like the diamond so much, that they are developing new cool applications for it.

I'm a GSM user using a cooked ROM mostly optimized for speed but loaded with whatever is usually out of the box. All I can say is you pretty much said what Bonnie was missing. I give you props and Bonnie needs to go research some more. She is downright annoying when she brings down the GSM version, that was wayyyy back in August when TF3D was still lagging but now it is fixed. Apparently they never consider updating any posts and people don't get what they should get from a site based on helping others with Tech.
