Diamond in stores?

Has anyone seen these yet in store? I'm contemplating if I want to get a diamond, or wait for the touch pro and really want to fondle one first.

Thats good to know, maybe I will stop by my sprint store here in atlanta and see whats up. My diamond should be here any day now but will give that to my girl while I wait for the pro.

Just got off the phone with my Northern Virginia flagship store... and they're still dumb as rocks... hasnt arrived yet, they dont have a demo... and 'depending' on who you speak to when you call they either are clueless as to when it will arrive, or they just give the blanket "Oct 12th" answer...

I called 2 stores Saturday, both corporate.
1. said no one has them & will not have for a 1-2 weeks.
2. said we have them but you need to do the swap at the repair store & they have them. Went to the repair store and swaped a Touch for a Diamond.

I saw the diamond at a local sprint store in AZ. It was a hush hush thing.. the girls was super cool and was excited to show it to me cuz the store was empty. she said it was the only one they had but they should have it in display by Oct. 17.

FINALLY... they're here in the DC area or at least at the Tysons Corner store...

it was the first time i've physically laid hands and eyes on it.. and i'm lusting after it like crazy now! Only spent about 10 minutes with it... but i'll be back over there this week to play some more. now i just need to leverage some $$ so I can pick one up for my own.

I opened up my local Sprints demo diamond last night. It was WAY smaller then I thought it would be. The Pro should be no problem. It took awhile to get going from the get go though....

yeah it's MUCH smaller than i thought too. i'm really thinking of trying out the diamond for almost 30 day and then trying the pro... though the pro kinda wins by default by having the KB, flash, and TV-out... how much on board memory will the pro have? i know therre will be removable storage too, but i dont know how much comes inside the device...
