Default Touch2 vs Diamond2

Hi mates,
I am thinking of getting me a new cell phone for Christmas so I wanted to ask you for some advice. The touch2 is on a bit lower level than the diamond2, but for me is the diamond2 very ugly. On the other side, the diamond2 has a larger screen and better camera I also wanted to ask you if you think it's easy to write everything on the screen as I write more often SMS instead of calling, and my current cell phone does have a physical keyboard. Another thing I wanted to know is the battery life - my N95 can't handle even a whole day at full usage, so I was hoping the touch2 would be better here..

Thanks for your replies in advance!

i had that question too and i decided to get the diamond2, because:

1.larger screen with wvga(400*800, while the touch2 has 240*320)

2.diamonds hardware is much better and it as openGl and so touchflo 3D

3.there are a lot of dimond roms, while the touch doesnt have a single one

You can buy a 3.5mm Audio adaptor for the Diamond2, so you can connect 3.5mm audio jacks anyway.

I went for the Touch2. Its not that i gonna surf a lot on the phone or watch a lot of movies. I don't like the current (dead/colorless looking) Diamond2 interface and not gonna install rom's while phone is under warranty. So rather had the Touch2 who is compact, with a nice looking interface. Bad thing about Touch2 is not having the auto focus. Close up pictures suck.

Good luck finding you're phone Seclubbg.

i bought my touch2 after an experience with my diamond ( stolen ).
I can tell u the display is pretty nice, the difference with a vga or wvga is noticeble only on certain app...

The bad only thing on this phone are:
- no g-sensor
-no light sensor
- bad camera.

However if the diamond2 is the same as diamond, tf3d doesn't support rotation with g-sensor and the rotation of the telephone while using opera sometimes results in program crash.... ( i'm not telling g-sensor is useless, teeter was AWESOME!!!)

On the other side touch2 has win 6.5 that imho is great compared to 6.1.
Fastest, more stable and the interface is more finger friendly than 6.1.
Although have have it since 2 days the autonomy of the battery is much looonger.
