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

Ya, that point didn't make any sense.

This is more because only 1 carrier is having it for now. Android is huge, regardless of whether YOU like it or not. I don't like it at all but a massive amount of people do. Also, the HD is NOT going to be released worldwide. Only in select markets and, at least the Diamond, IS NOT going to be released carrier wide (if by that you mean all carriers).

That is correct.

I know of at least 100 people across several message boards that claim to be holding off on the Diamond AND the Pro for something better. In fact there was so much negative backlash to HTC not releasing the HD in the US, they released an official statement (not twitter talk) to Endgadget regarding it. WTH do you mean no one even knows about the Sprint/Telus Diamond or Pro?

We understand. Just don't go extreme do do it.
