Reasons for my return were: Heat issue when doing anything on the phone for longer than 10 minutes/ the problem with the phone saving the correct AZ time/ problems with low storage memory/ and the simple fact that I don't think the phone is that much of an upgrade over a HTC Touch that has the ROM tweaks.

I told him I might take a look at the Pro, due to the storage slot, keyboard, and faster processor. Out of curiousity, I asked him when this corporate store would have the Pro, his response was that it had just been pushed back (due to what he thought was the removal of a video conferencing feature) into November. Not worth a lot, but he did know about the Phone.

So, I'm back to my HTC Touch running a cooked ROM and all my favorite programs, plus 4gig sd card.

I'm gonna give the TF2D a try... but I missed my Ultimate Launch.

I have a Touch. A guy at work just got a Diamond. I want the HD. I'm willing to keep my Touch until the HD is available or something comparable. The Diamond just doesn't WOW me. *shrug*

Hate to break the news to ya, but HTC announced it will not release the HD in the US. You'll have to wait for their next wave of new devices for something comparable that hasn't been announced yet. That might be a long time.

You used the quote, so i couldn't help myself. Way doesn't everyone just relax, you guys are arguing about the same product....HTC. Ever unit has advancements over the previous, that much we can all agree on. Ever unit released is a set forward. If you feal that enough steps forward have not been made to your liking, then just keep the device you have and wait for the on you want. Those of us that move forward, thats because we found something we liked over what we had. We are all different, so lets just all get along. Were all HTC users and a part of this community

Speak softly with respect and admiration, other will respect your words, need not fear you. Thus never having a produce the BIGGER STICK

That's true, I read an article on the net from HTC. I believe the spokes person stated "If we were to release the Touch HD into the North American market in the Second Quarter, it would already be old news by that time" He also said they are working on other projects that will be available to the North American Market in the Second Quarter, HOPEFULLY with WM7 and I'm sure we will not be disappointed. The Touch HD would be "Old Hat"

"Ever(y) unit has advancements over the previous, that much we can all agree on" - I'm afraid I can't agree with that - I had the touch - now I have the Diamond - Diamond battery life sucks. Diamond BT sucks.

I called telesales and ordered a return kit today. Maybe in about 5 months if enough people complain HTC will release a fix for the Diamond like they did 5 months after the mogul was released to fix the BT. I have to admit after the amount of postings about the BT on the Mogul I really thought HTC would have actually tried out this phone with a couple of BT units - I'm not surprised Sprint didn't bother testing - heck I wouldn't be surprised if Sprint did their "testing" with a mockup shell with no inards. No surprise that Sprint didn't bother to ask why I was returning the Diamond - information like that might actually help them retain customers and that isn't part of Dan's plan.

Maybe in 6 months if they fix the unit -I'll order another one - maybe by then the price will be about half of what it is now and they'll have one that hasn't been imasculated with a red shell.

That's not a bad idea, instead of us complain and *****ing out each out. We should all be *****ing at HTC, maybe then they will get it right. Maybe then they will make a perfect handset, that we don't have to tweak the S**T out of. We can only hope, I'm send an email right now

Hmmm, my jawbone 2 works great with my diamond. Maybe you should buy a better headset.
