have you recieved your sdHC card yet? I've heard that generic brands are hit or miss and might not work... is it a ScanDisk

j&R is selling the new touch diamond GSM version right now.
They don't seem to have the CDMA one yet, but maybe it not too far behind?

1. There has been no official confirmation from Sprint or HTC regarding a CDMA version. That being said I believe it will happen considering the leaked Sprint document was before the Diamond was official, and the specs were right on.

2. The GSM version being sold is not a world phone, so while it will work here, the data hardware is not banded correctly so anyone who wants to buy one might want to think twice about paying that much and having a device that will barely pick up edge, much less 3g.

it looks like a multimedia phone not a smartphone/pda

Not to mention, you won't be able to roam in the 800mhz band either.

The only thing that sucks about the Pro is I heard you have to take the battery cover off in order to switch memory cards... And if it's as much of a pain in the arse to get the cover off as it is on a Mogul then IDK.. LoL

Sometimes it's the simplist things that get to me and make me choose something else..

I can not believe you brought up an 8 month old thread.

Does anyone care to clearify and correct me on this, if I am wrong?

Do ya indeed have to do that, also how much of a hassle is it to get the cover off of it as opposed to the Mogul?
