Now before you ask I will let you know I have found this out by going to my local sprint store directly (corporate)! I know what you are thinking here goes onther guy that heard it from a rep but wait! Don’t jump to conclusions! Here is what I have learned!

#1. I went in and ask about the diamond and sure enough they had one but the demo none in stock yet (amazing)!
#2. I asked if I could purchase but that was a no go because none in stock.
#3. Then it unfolded the sales rep advised me to wait b/c he has been eagerly waiting for the touch pro and was very informed as far as specs,color,size,ect(I played like I was clueless and let him sale me on the idea)
#4. He then advised me that his Regional Manager and HTC Product mangers came to there store and let them play with the Diamond and Pro!
#5. He then said that they advised him that the pro would be postponed b/c the Diamond is still not available in all markets and was postponed itself so the did the same to pro to smoothen the process.
#6. He advised me he got to play with pro and described, ECT and was told that the Phone would come out on Nov 2, all channels and 29th for telesales!
#7.ONce again he was honest with me and was very knowledgeable and let me play with the diamond while talking
#8 So I believe it’s obvious that it won’t be here the 19th as most stores still don’t even have the diamond!

I am now just going to wait for the 29th to get online/telesales for the pro!

Furthermore, my first impressions of diamond is wow how pretty, small, Gorgeous screen (wow), and the speed was smooth no lag and very nice looking phone!

My suggestion to you is go play with the diamond and get a idea of what coming when the pro comes I am excited and happy to say that I can no wait till the end of month knowing that the pro is coming at end of month!

Disclaimer: He did say the date could change but would not be sooner!
sorry for long post but to excited to hold back and also only time will tell but this all make sense to me!:Popcorn2:

Ya.. thats what my contact said too. He said on the 29th on TELESALES and it could change but as of yesterday it still stands. I will email tonight and see if its still good.

So now i have 2 phones... the diamond i didnt bother activating because its too small to read...

Thanks for the helpful post.

You do realize that the Touch Pro and Touch Diamond are nearly identical, right? You won't like either of them.

Hahaha...so many echats being posted. It's like deja-vu before the Diamond got released. Straight comedy!...LOL.

What's hilarious to me is that all this "new" info keeps popping up on here and SprintUsers.com...

and by new, I clearly mean news that is not 3 weeks old...

Even more hilarious to me that all the people that "insisted" that sprint CS / echat reps had to know what they were talking about are now getting information from them about 11/2. The more and more it starts to get closer, I'm just waiting for the "What happened? Why was it delayed?..." type comments...LOL.

Hopefully they will spare us with those posts... I already have enough problems as it is... just reading them will cause my blood pressure to reach an unsafe level...

Kind of like when someone tries to prove to me that a "Mac" is "better" than a "PC."

PST, a "Mac" IS a personal-computer...

--just sayin'...

No offense, but software updates simply can't compare to a change in hardware. All the enhancements that you get from a cooked Diamond rom will be available in some form on the Pro.
