Re: Diamond2/TopazC on Sprint? Any hope?
It looks like AT&T is going to be the carrier with both models this year, and Sprint just the one... unless something changes.

Re: Diamond2/TopazC on Sprint? Any hope?
I find it interesting that Sprint seems to be focusing heavily on phones with keyboards (both the pre and TP2).
It has seemed that the trend is moving towards soft keyboards and touch interfaces. I wonder what has motivated Sprint to get back to physical keyboards. I'm disappointed. I was really looking forward to the Diamond 2 |

Re: Diamond2/TopazC on Sprint? Any hope?
I just think that Sprint doesn't get it... (continually)...
They probably think that their entry in the touch-only segment is the Instinct (and its successors). Sprint clearly thinks the Instinct is something special, worthy of forcing all Instinct customers to their Simply Extravagant Plans, whereas all I see in the Instinct is yet another touch screen featurephone like the FIVE that Verizon has (e.g. Voyager, Dare, Glyde, Versa, Krave) that VZW allows on $15/mo data options. Sprint won't even offer the Omnia... Sprint seems to be all about REDUCING the number of choices... reducing plan choices, reducing phone choices... sad really... |

Re: Diamond2/TopazC on Sprint? Any hope?
Even when it comes to mass appeal it seems like the qwerty keyboared is the in thing, look at how many different non PDA phones now have a qwerty keyboared for faster texting. The thing with apple is that they just have a strong following and what ever they make regardless of price will probably sell a bunch. I mean damn, apple can take an htc diamond, redesign it and then call it an iphone mini and it will sell out through out the country, or they could release an iphone with a qwerty keyboared and it will sell like hot cakes.

I've not seen anything that changes the EOL for the current Diamond so I would say either (1) they don't plan to replace it, or (2) they are making room for its successor. I tend to think (2) they will go with the successor (Diamond 2). I also think it is very curious that VZW has not released their late release Diamond as a general release yet. Its available business release but more than a month after coming available to business accounts it still hasnt shown up wide release. I wonder if VZW has kept their order (stock) low to make way for a Diamond 2 roll-out themselves late in the year. |
