Found my way here via another forum...and this will be my first WM phone...anyway, is there a reason I can't open/download the PDF? Thanks.

Anyone else notice this tidbit:

"Your device has an active connection to the Sprint Mobile Broadband (EVDO) or
Sprint 1xRTT data network. When active, data is being transferred and you cannot
receive calls."

It was showing what the different indicators mean... sounds like we're going back in time here... Even if I'm downloading a file, the call interrupts the download and rings through... then when I get off the call, the download resumes.

I'm going to be one massively unhappy customer if my calls start going to voicemail again like they did on the 6700...

Other than that, I love the fact that this has Sprint Movies on it, they've implemented picture mail (boo on not having the ability to send video though that I can see), they've dumped the java crap for Sprint Music and went to a straight through Opera interface, music is AAC+ (I hate WMA), we've got Sprint Radio, we've got YouTube, there's apparently going to be some sort of a dock for using the phone in the car for GPS, and SAR is about half of the max allowed!

I'm excited about this one for sure.

Too bad there aren't any specs in there... would love some confirmation of the RAM bump to 256MB that's been rumored.

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)
