I like the phone aesthetically, but I'm a little turned off by the inclusion of a stylus. I think if the phone is marketed as a full "touch" device, (hell it's the damn name) I should be able to operate the phone by my touch, and my touch alone. I have large thumbs, and those appear to be some tiny icons.
I have the touch... and i love it. I have big hands and never use the stylus at all. even with the WM start menu (just takes some getting used to) and i also use the default xt9 keyboard for text and email, and love it...
the biggest problems i have with the phone is the quirks with WM6 and not having the gps unlocked -
the other weird thing was that you start it up and it looks so good, touch flo and everything... and then after you get past the "cover" its just WM
The diamond looks very nice, i don't think a physical keys are that big of a deal, and i text a couple thousand a month and send email regularly.
