Its on the telus version, so its on the sprint version.

Well, It most likely has this in there for 1x, becase when you are activly transfering data on 1x with any sprint phone, you can't get calls. So on EV, I bet it still will receive calls, just like on my mogul.

It will recieve calls, but the data transmission stops unless you are a wi-fi connection.

I'm not a fan of Sprints tinkering to the Touch Flow interface, I hope there's an option to remove the Sprint overlay. Specially to the music tab! Who wants that large ugly Sprint Music Store ad (button) floating above your album art constantly.

Looks like they want everyone to switch over to Simply Everything plan with how hard their pushing the Sprint Music Store and Sprint TV. It's all about keeping the cash flow running isn't it.

I hope the FM w/ RDS and Television Out isn't removed from the Touch Pro. I wasn't expecting the forward facing camera to survive, but if they remove the aforementioned I'll be sorely disappointed.

maybe i have been reading to many threads on this pda, but wasn't this device going by another name, why would they put diamond on the manual if the back is not going to be cut like a diamond,just curious, didnt think they would even acknowledge "diamond".

They'd lose all the name recognition that they already by changing the name. They already have a lot of free publicity under it's original name before it even came to NAM.

oh ok, just thought i read it was going by rapheal or some other name, maybe i was thinking a different device.

I think Raphael was the code name for one of the versions... Herman *might* have been the code name for the Sprint version....which still sounds like a horrible name for a phone...even a code name.

So you're right... it did go by another name, but that was probably some name that the company used to talk about the device internally... (like processors get code names before they come out so that they can be referenced without giving away or deciding on marketing too early on)

Raphael is the Touch Pro (i.e. Diamond with keyboard) model. There's a separate forum on here for that machine.

yeah, that wasn't what I was trying to say, but you are certainly correct.

I was trying to say that the Herman was the code name for the Sprint Touch Pro and that the Raphael was the Verizon version.

Sprint called their Diamond the "Victor" and Verizon just called it the Diamond. Weirdos.... because Touch Pro and Diamond were too specific I guess...lol.
