I just don't understand why they would take a cool expensive looking device and make it look like a cheap toy?
It seems like they are completely removing the Diamond branding from this phone. The Diamond back is what made this the "Diamond" phone. Sprint will never be successful in this industry because they don't understand that stupid little gimmicks like a cheap plastic faceted back that looks like a diamond is the type of garbage that sells products in America. If you don't have some kind of gimmick or angle to set you apart then you are just any other phone to the average joe.
HTC after years of making powerful but ugly phones finally puts out a smartphone with some style and Sprint goes and craps all over it. Ugh. Touch Pro is going to look even worse because the back part is much bigger than the Diamond meaning tons of ugly burgandy.
