Juggalo_X, you're right about the vast majority of Verizon phones (about the crippling)..... I was an owner of the Verizon Motorola V710 and I hated what Verizon did to it. I may be wrong, but weren't the Verizon and Alltel HTC Touch versions the same as the Sprint HTC Touch version, with the exception of the color? WiFi and GPS were removed from all the versions compared with the original GSM version.
The one released document about the crippled Verizon Diamond (
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/More...le-a_3021.html) was released with a "Sprint Ahead" logo on it. Does anyone here know of other evidence to suggest it will be crippled? I hope you're right
Juggalo_X, as I wouldn't want you to eat your hat!!! What kind of hat is it??
Also, regarding the Alltel Diamond, based on the posts on this site, it didn't appear to be crippled... Do you have alternate evidence? I hope you're wrong on this one.
By the way, thanks for all of your cogent posts.
