Hi Troy
For the Diamond, I did not get a firm date, just this month. I do have a website where you can sign up to receive an email notifying you when it becomes available. http://www.sprint.com/htcdiamond
I am working with my supervisor to get a timeframe for the new Blackberries with Direct Connect. I will keep you updated.
Thank you,
From where I am sitting any date you get at this point is just a guess. While frustrating to those of us who are willing to deal with "glitches" waiting is probably a smart idea on Sprint's part since most users would complain and then return a phone that has "glitches". |
I signed up for the Telus notification on the Touch Diamond... Got the notification that they were available 2 weeks after I picked mine up. Thanks a bunch, Telus...
With regards to the delays and stuff, one story I heard (more rumours, yay!) about the Telus launch fiasco was that it wasn't Telus screwing around with dates, but HTC delivery issues. Even the day before the phone was available in stores, we didn't know when it was going to be out "for sure". And then some stores got a few units, other stores got units a week later, etc. Delivery really seemed to be a problem. I would imagine a US launch would be even more problematic, given the number of locations/phones to get out.
