Sorry that was not clear from the title of the thread. I know you Sprint users are in the majority, but if you start a thread that is Sprint specific then put that in the title, so those of us in the minority won't assume that it is generic.

But if it has already been released, why are you on a speculation thread? There is another thread that stays busy at the top of the form specifically for the Telus Diamond.

I went to the Sprint Store and asked if they had any pamphlets on the Diamond or Touch Pro. Guy came back and gave me the the Diamond Brochure. Only thing is, it kinda just re-iterates what's been leaked here and on Sprint Users.

The one thing that the brochure confirms is the red backing without a doubt.

yeah we know more here than any rep knows. its pretty funny.I'm glad we have reps here to not only give us release info, but also to learn info for their stores... I'm yet to meet a ppcgeek at any of my local sprint stores tho.

Thought I'd Give sprint chat a try and see if they could tell me anything about the diamond. Here is how the convo went
12:40:11 PM System Connected to Sprint Web Chat Server
12:40:11 PM System Session ID:
12:40:16 PM System Please hold and the next available agent will be with you shortly.
12:42:26 PM System
12:42:26 PM System Connected with Matachi
12:42:31 PM Matachi Thank you for contacting Sprint. My name is Matachi. How may I assist you today?
12:43:07 PM Blas Yes, I am interested in the upcoming release of the HTC touch diamond and wanted to know if there was any information you could provide me of a release date or price
12:44:06 PM Matachi I've been waiting for it to. Such a good looking phone.
12:44:31 PM Matachi However, we are not allowed to give out any information. I can tell you that the forums rumors have been saying late October.
12:44:42 PM Blas Ok, thank you
12:44:46 PM Matachi I haven't the faintest clue about pricing.
12:44:56 PM Matachi I may be wrong though as they are rumors.


PS: my name is not Blas, it is scott. I just thought i'd choose a stupid name

No. At the earliest the device will launch via direct ship on the 14th. The stores won't get them until late september.

Chappy, when you say direct ship, does that mean I can order through customer service for my discounts? Thanks.

Too bad you never walked into my store. I was the store manager at a repair store and I was able to help 98% of all ppc questions. honestly though, sprint would never be able to teach me or any other rep the knowledge I have. my customers were just lucky I happened to be a ppcgeek.
