I got the HTC Touch Pro for Sprint and love it. Jumped on the deal at BB with the 20% coupon on smartphones that expired the begining of this month. ended up being $240 plus tax, sold my old treo 700wx on craigslist for $120 cash and got the $18 activation fee waived as well as a $70 credit just for signing a 2 year contract.

Only complaint I have had is that it can be a little slow in general and its a smartphone so it doesnt have that great battery life and will crash on occasion. My treo was much worse at locking up and crashing though. Its still a major upgrade from what I had.

yep, got the same deal you did. are you on sero too? best plan + best phone = awesomeness

What makes it even better is that there's a modded ROM out now that enables the FM radio that the European version has. I loaded it onto my Touch Diamond and the FM radio works perfectly.

Comparing the Sprint Diamond and Touch Pro.

The keyboard isn't important to me, but what about the removable memory card as far as getting files and music on the phone ?

touch diamond has 4GB....touch pro can add microSDHC up to 32GB so basically endless storage.

as for adding stuff from windows, its as simple as drag and drop. when you plug the phone through usb into your computer, the phone asks you if you want to go into activesync mode or disk drive mode. i always use disk drive mode so my microSD card shows up as a removable drive, aka awesomeness!
