The pro does have the touch screen key input as well, though why anyone would use it is beyond me...
So it's more like QWERTY + touch screen vs touch screen... The down side is a larger device. I've had a Helio Ocean for the past year, I've become used to the size (still, .3" thicker than the touch pro) and weight (a good 20g heavier than a touch pro), not an issue for me. I'm excited to switch.
The back shouldn't be red on the touch diamond? It's been black in all of the previous looks we've had at it, it just seems like the WSJ got a weird one. I'd imagine you can find a back cover from one of the euro GSM models and it would fit just fine -- though I'd rather have a matte softtouch finish instead of the gloss. Don't let the red back scare you!
for the record the gsm and cdma housings are very different, and the gsm faceted cover will not fit the cdma model. I'm a little bummed about it myself, because I planned on doing the very same.
Yeah guys, Crave has said that it's a black/burgundy back for the Sprint model. This will be the backing for the Sprint Model. Not sure why they picked that color but this will be the color. YIKES!! Hope we can interchange it later through HTC or some aftermarket places.
