Sprint Diamond tentative release date

[Tiberius85]

Still skeptical about it being the Touch Dual. There have been NO LEAKS about it at all, or internal memos, pictures, or references to a Touch Dual. And why would they launch this product within a month of launching the next generation iterations?

Has a CDMA Touch Dual even gotten FCC approval yet? The CDMA Diamond's already approved by the FCC.

I just talked to a Sprint rep about the Sept. 2nd release of a device 6950. He stated that he wasn't sure if it was the diamond, all he had was, "it's the Touch 2". He told me that in a couple of weeks they will have more information on that model.

Just thought I would pass this little bit of info. Sounds like the Dual to me, but I hope I'm wrong! Come on Sprint, give us Christmas a few months early! I want to put my girlfriends iPhone to shame!

So there's an included Game that has Haptic feedback, but no on screen keyboard that has it? C'mon, HTC!

I guess we'll need a third party hack/app to address that one.

I played with the Samsung Instinct, and the Haptic feedback keyboard is really the only killer app that appealed to me.

I think it's been stated in several other threads that is the Touch Dual not the Diamond.

sure it has been stated, but its all just speculation until sprint announces anything.

Please don’t shoot the messenger for this but the tentative release date of September 2nd is no longer correct. It was scheduled to be the 2nd of September but it got moved back to October 19th. The good news though, the Touch Pro got moved up from it’s November slot and is now going to be released the same day. This isn’t Sprint’s call, in fact it was HTC’s doing. Because of limited resources state bound they wanted the release date to be the same. Sprint actually has four phones now releasing on this date so I really don’t think they would have tried to create themselves this type of headache. This news that I am telling you is 100% accurate for the time being, but as we all know, Sprint can and will typically change their minds hundreds of times before they actually go through with something. This news is coming straight from my District Manager so I assure everyone this is the most current and accurate release date for both devices.

What are the other 2 devices?

[e.lamberson]

One I believe was the Motorola Vegas which has basically the same user interface as the V3M and probably the same horrible service and quality. The other phone is some EVDO version of the Rumor. Haven't seen the actual device but it seems as if it may be something comparable to the Verizon Envy.
