Very nice. Sounds like a great phone. I might have to upgrade from my Touch.

ive seen it mentioned too that it will be the same cpu. I've also seen an article that said that sprint and verizon both use the old msm7500 cpu. Heres how i stupidly understand it. The 7501a is basically just a die shrink of the 7500 cpu. Its very very similar in other aspects so maybe people confuse the two. And when you see that Sprint is running this updated cpu at a faster rate and Verizon is running it at the original cpu's rate it makes it appear that Verizon stuck with the old cpu. So the 7501A Cpu can run cooler and with less power because of its smaller size, this lets HTC up the mhz of the chip. i think they just upped the multipler of the fsb by one.


Now Verizon looked at the new cpu and power specs and said, "hey we want the extra battery life we think the unit is powerful enough so keep it at the mhz of the first cpu and maybe up the ram somewhere this will (hopefully) give us an extra 1-? hours of battery while giving us just a small reduction in overall speed"

I hope we can scale the cpu up to 528mhz if we want but if we can why doesnt Verizon? Is CPU scaling not possible?

Also ive seen the embedded cpu that controls the phone is getting double the speed (at least on the sprint model) it looks to be the exact same model cpu but its listed at 278mhz.

The VZ diamond isn't going to have the MSM7500 (Vogue Chipset)... it seems that it will have a modded MSM7501A (400 Mhz, 54 MB ISM, 128 MB RAM) as opposed to the Sprint MSM7501A (528 Mhz, 32 MB ISM, 256 MB RAM)

That's cool, mind linking me where I could read up on that?
Thanks,

wow Main Camera: 3.1 MP making me wait it more

[buddhatikkigod]

its been mentioned somewhere i forgot where... but it makes sense

Or you could get the Pro, last I read it has all this plus the slot.
But at this point. the phrase "don't believe everything you read might come into play"

I bet now I'm going to get yelled at b/c the pro is "so much" thicker than the diamond?

I still highly doubt that the Verizon specs are correct... I don't think even VERIZON thinks that their customers are stupid enough to believe that their version isn't gimped... especially once they see someone on Sprint go flying with theirs while the Verizon model glitches out and slows to a crawl the second you mess with TouchFLO 3D...

I dont believe in those specs either since from what ive seen sprint has NEVER called the diamond anything other than Diamond much less called it victor so chances are the specs are just made by someone with alot of time on their hands and since diamond news is nowhere to be found and wanted all over, bloggers went ahead and posted without even trying to verify the source. i dont see the point for verizon adding an SD slot to a phone that was designed without one that will either cancel out the cost of removing internal memory or make it hardly any cheaper as for the rest of the specs verizon has had its moments in the past with small mistakes but i doubt them stupid enough to gimp a fain that would directly battle sprints diamond for customers i mean verizons lg's are all amazing compared to the instinct in my opinion. if verizon was to do anything to the memory i would see it more believable that they UP the 4g of ram inside it since they are more into vcast and music than sprint is.

So, why is there so much more information leading up to the release of the Sprint version than there is for the release of the Verizon version? Is the Verizon release so far away that there's no information available? You'd think that with all the information going around about how Verizon's version will be lacking features, some Verizon "insider" would post something to set the record straight. I'd hate to switch to Sprint then find out that all of the rumors are wrong, but I'd hate to stay with Verizon and be disappointed...
