This is the most cracked out conspiracy theory I've ever read. Absolutely ridiculous.

1) You honestly think AT&T has ANY pull on HTC? Stop thinking in domestic terms...think in worldwide terms.

2) Good job, G1 is open source. So you honestly think HTC has a strong campaign behind it? Especially since the Diamond and Touch Pro are about to be released carrier-wide in the states...coupled with the Touch HD release worldwide?!?! Honestly.

3) What kind of nonsense is that? You think HTC is just gonna roll over and give in to another product dominating the market? Business 101. They see the iPhone selling like crazy...of course they're are gonna release a competitive product!

Who are "a lot of us" that are willing to hold out for the Touch HD? I challenge you to find 100 people on this forum that are willing to pass up the Diamond in favor of the Touch HD. Now take that number and apply to the real world. No one even knows about the Sprint/Telus Diamond...much less the Touch Pro. Yet you think the Touch HD will kill all those sales.

Don't mean to be offensive or come off as if I'm flaming...I'm just putting it in real world terms as best I can.
