Re: New Information and Tentative Release Dates for Touch Diamond and Touch Pro

The one thing that was mentioned is that it's usually not common for them to have a rebate form with a phone indicated that will only be available 2 weeks prior to the rebate form expiration.

So, everything is still up in the air. I'm still banking on the Touch Pro being available around 10/2, which will give 1 month of sales for the reps before the rebate form is changed/modified.
This would jive with the request to the FCC to hold internal photos and the manual as confidential until ~Sept 1.

Additionally, the request cover letter I linked to in an earlier post for the diamond has the caveat that they wish to hold photos/manual confidential until Nov. after final approval. Sounds like there was/is a delay on FCC approval for the diamond that didn't occur with the touch pro.
