I will have to switch carriers and go to AT&T to get the Diamond 2

J/k
I will just keep my Diamond that much longer.
I have gotten used to the touch screen and don't need a physical keyboard.
I only do a few texts a month and surf pretty good with touch.
Still, I would like to have a Diamond 2, or rather have the choice to purchase it or not, depending if I like it or not.

I am absolutely with you on this. I don't want the iPhone but I will leave Sprint for A T & T just to get the D2.

what makes it worse for staying with Sprint is that it looks like SERO really is a deadend... the word is that Sprint's TP2 will *not* be SERO eligible. In that case, without SERO, there is much less reason to stay with Sprint...

I bought a used Diamond to put on SERO until the situation became clearer with Sprint's TD2, D2, Quartz, Pre, etc... but its looking like this Diamond will be the last SERO phone I have...

You can always order the Diamond2 from Europe and get HTC's device, which is always the best version.

I don't think it would be able to be activated on the Sprint network?

I think you guys are blowing this out of proportion. Even if they do not release the Diamond 2, I think we will see a touchscreen device that will replace the Diamond even if they have a few months without it. Perhaps they reacted as some of us here did to the Diamond 2. It is essentially just a bigger screen and slightly better camera. If they come out with something Tegra or Snapdragon based in q1 next year, I am happy they did not get the d2. I think the idea of leaving Sprint for that small of an upgrade is ridiculous.

A few other observations on this thread:
1. Sure Sero is great, but if Sprint ants to stay afloat they can't just continue to give away service, and if you price the major carrier, the service is still cheaper than the others.
2. I don't they have illusion that the Instinct is a premier touch screen device. They may have when it first came out, but they have virtually sifted all focus to the Pre and the Instinct is not getting near as much advertising.
3. The facts are, they can only have a limited amount of devices, and eventually there are going to be devices that are dropped but they will be replaced by something else. Afterall, the new android based Hero is allegedly coming to Sprint, as well as a cdma/wimax based Samsung.

Verizon announced this week their version of the Diamond 2.... hopefully Sprint will soon too... but I also want to see what they do with the HTC Hero (android) with the TouchFlo3D style interface... its due in 4th quarter.... Many great choices!
