There had better be some hefty discounts on this betch! http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/ima...es/fingers.gif

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I said i'll buy the Dimonad straight cash homie (ala Randy Moss)

But, if its 500+ I will not be doing it. I was thinking more on the lines of 449.99.

I think I might jump ships if this is true.

with the price of the iPhone, I think it will be interesting to see what they try.

If they are talking 729.00.......I'll just be REAL patient and wait for the specials to kick in.

Come one 729??? WTF. What does it really cost to make and manufacture one? No where near that damned much. I hate when companies try crap like that.

So much for the iPhone killer. I mean seriously? Even for stock unlocked it is just way to much if they are truly trying to battle the iPhone.

Cmon guys let's be real. Has Sprint ever released a phone for more than $600 before discounts? I doubt it'd cost more than that, regardless of what's inside.

The new iPhone cost definitely helps things too :) I'd guess $199 after rebates for the Diamond and ~$50 more for the Pro, or maybe $249 for the Diamond (same opening price for the Touch and new Treo) and ~$50 more for the Pro.

i wouldnt do 600 or 500 and maybe not even 400. Thats my reality of it.

Up in Canada, the Touch Diamond is selling for $449 from Telus, with no contract. Seems more reasonable that $729... :)

Hmmm...So, with the current exchange rate, that's $429 US without a contract. Instant rebate would probably be $50-100. Mail in probably $100-150. That seems like a realistic figure.

I'm more curious as to how much more the Touch Pro will be.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sprint price it the same as the current models. 499 - 549 for the Diamond, and 549 - 599 for the Pro.
