Pocket-friendly
The Pure features a slightly different design than the Touch Diamond2. Though we prefer the look and feel of the Touch Diamond2, the Pure is still an attractive and compact handset.

Onscreen keyboard
The Pure offers an onscreen QWERTY keyboard, including a landscape keyboard. Despite looks, both the portrait and landscape keyboards are pretty easy to use. Still, heavy e-mailers should look at a model with a physical keyboard.
