Incorrect. First, verizon is CDMA. Second Sprint is the first to get the Touch Diamond in the US and Sprint is CDMA. No Slot. And Third, neither does the GSM version have a slot. if you don't believe me go to thw HTC website and lookup the specs.

Now the HTC Touch Pro does have a MicroSD slot. Anyways, no of this matter cause Verizon has a better phone. the Samsung Omnia and the Blackberry Strom. Which are cheaper too.

Agreed. The initial interface on WinMo is horrible. I spent about $60 on third-party software for my Moto Q and now the interface is decent.
The interface on the Diamond looks better than the Q but I would still customize it.

SBSH.net for 'Facade' then go to the forum to download a different interface. Other good WinMo programs are Rightmenu, Sprite Backup, and PhoneAlarm. All at Pocketgear.com or Handango.com or directly from the developer's site.]]>Apr 10th 2009 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/Apr 9th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/Apr 9th 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/

And I love it.

After I installed the updated rom from my carrier, Touch FLO 3D was even faster, and I enjoy all the functionality of Windows Mobile 6.1. Multimedia function could be better, but I have an iPod for that. Mind you, I have a CDMA version which has double the RAM of the GSM counterpart.

I think people either love or hate Windows Mobile devices. oh well.]]>Apr 9th 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/Apr 9th 2009 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/Apr 9th 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/Apr 9th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/Apr 9th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/htc-touch-diamond-lands-tomorrow-on-verizon-299-99-on-contract/

I don't get the phone thing now days, all they are is a screen, not exactally exciting, for me anyway. No mater how crap some things on the iPhone are non of them look anywhere near as good to me, they definatly lack the cool factor.

iPhone != Smartphone in my book. You need to support true multi-tasking in order to be called that. And J.D. Power would probably disagree on AT&T being the best carrier on the planet.
