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.
Its not Sprint, its HTC. Why do you think Telus is getting the same thing and back. Remember, this is CDMA not GSM version so it has to change. Like the Mogul, its supposed to be the htc tytn and it looks nothing like it but it sure is better. Same thing here, the CDMA version will have more ram. Remember the HTC Touch and Vogue? Dont we have the better version? We just have to live with what Htc sales to Sprint and what Sprint sales to us.
