So many new phones and so much selection... But seems like in the US we only have T-Mo or ATT in my area - sigh... Still, I think for adoption of new devices, moving to the GSM network would be best - any advice?

Well, as much as I would like having a slide-out keyboard (and the Touch Pro's looks nice), after two years with my HTC/Dopod S300 (aka "Star Trek") flip-phone, I think I'm going to get the Diamond.

I was leaning heavily towards an iPhone 3G, after constantly envying my wife's iPhone (original) which she's had since last fall, but the thing I always come back to, is that it doesn't really fit into my pockets. I played with the new Diamond today (it's already on sale in Thailand for waaay too much money), and the form-factor really is amazing. Much like my Star Trek HTC flip-phone, it's seductive, really.

The Touch Pro looks to be about the same size, except for like, 80% thicker or something.

As for the Experia X1 - no way. It's waaay too chunky, and I really dislike the looks. The only phone I've seen with elegant use of metal on the body lately is the iPhone 1.0, in my opinion ;-)
