How much does it cost to buy this phone outright? will I get and rebates? If anyone caould please explain this that would be great, as I am sure many others are wondering the same thing.

From what I've read, and I'll be attaching the pics, the diamond is going to require the Simply Everything or Text/Talk/Data plans (same ones the Instinct requires). I think this is a baaaaaaaaaad move on Sprint's part. I know based on this, I won't be getting it now, as I'm not letting my retention plan go for it.

Here's the scans of the price tags (taken from sprintusers).
