Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

I was just in my local sprint store paying my bill and i noticed that the diamond and pro were not on display. So i talked to the manager,he reported that they were out of production since the beginning of June and are no longer offered in store and only online until the small supply are depleted.(acting dumb) I asked why and he answered "For the new ones". he told me that the diamond 2 was supposed to be released next week but was called back to HTC for hardware and software changes.(OOOOOO!!!!! I like the way that sounds) and the PRO 2 would not be too much longer "no time/frame but he did not sound as if it was a week or two.So im waiting for more info.

Please post what you think and if they are gone out of the store near you.

Well, I just swapped my diamond for a touch pro. I am stuck with them for awhile. I am glad to hear that they are trying to push for the new phones though. I am sad to hear that the touch pro 2 will have almost identical hardware (minus the screen) as the touch pro.

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

Well they kept the same CPU and amount of RAM so the device is gonna be the same on the inside. The differences are the bigger and more resolute screens, a 3.5mm jack on the Pro2 (I think), and a bigger stock sized battery. Oh and they threw in TouchFLO2 (whoopie, not!).

I knew the EOL was July 25.
I like my Diamond.
If something were to happen to it regarding a defect,etc. I assume they will probably have plenty of refurbished Diamonds available as replacements.
I am not sure if I would purchase the Diamond2 when it is available.
I would have to see it.

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

Yeah it does suck that not much was changed in the pro 2, but i think the reason might be because that phone is geared more toward business users
and i also was told that it will be a duel mode phone GSM/CDMA

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

tp2 geared twards business users, no kidding. yes the tp2 does have 3.5 jack and i herd its on the bottom? not sure why but atleast its there.

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

Sounds like good new for my brothers and sisters to the south. It's too bad, it seems like Telus will only be getting the Pro2.

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

I can confirm for some stores in Philly that the 2 are gone from the shelves and the Snap is the only HTC present, I gotta check 17th/Market street though as that is the primary Sprint store downtown.

Anyone else from Philly thats downtown could check for me lol?

P.S. why don't these phones never get a $59-99 deal at EOL? :(

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

i know the reg touch/vogue did in January on sprint and last week the xv6900(touch/vogue) verizon was $49 and now $9.99

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

They are off the shelves here to in Central Cali, been like that for about a month. The Palm Pre took their shelf.

They didnt have any the store and didnt have any info on exactly when the new ones are coming. All they said was Diamond2 was first then Pro2 would be about a month after that.

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

hmmm...... put the diamond on ebay NOW!?

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

LOL Yeah, before its too late. :-P


I should do it,
I'll probably revert to my Samsung Upstage if it sells fast... I'll save the earnings + use my $150 discount towards the new HTCs...:headbang:

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

lol and i just got a new diamond through insurance last sat..lol oh well j/k im staying with the diamond for awhile..im happy sprint will be getting the diamond2 though. thats my next phone..

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

I'm assuming the Diamond2 will still have it's microSD slot?

I think I might wait until the fall and see if the Hero rumors were true.

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

this is not a good sign. I can see those ebay ads going down down down. I better get mine up for sale before it's too late.

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

UPDATE!!! - FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS A TOUCH PRO2 OR DIAMOND2, I WAS AT SPRINT IN A CENTRAL CONNECTICUT MALL AND BOUGHT A PALM TREO PRO FOR MY WIFE. IT TOOK FOREVER.. SO I WAS TALKING WITH THE MANAGER CUZ HE HAD A DIAMOND TOO. HE WAS ALL PUMPED UP ABOUT THE NEWS HE HAD JUST LEARNED, THAT THE NEW TOUCH PRO 2 AND TOUCH DIAMOND 2 WOULD BE IN STORES NEXT MONTH!!!! HE SAID T-MOBILE WAS GETTING THEM FIRST, (SHOULD BE THIS WEEK) , AND THEN SPRINT WAS GETTING THEM IN STORES! I TOO WAS HAPPY TO HEAR THIS AND WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL THEN TO UPGRADE BUT GOT THE TREO ANYWAYS... SO GOOD NEWS!

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

LOL, we'll see...
We're electing you to follow up 'n pimp slap him if he's wrong... ;)

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

Sounds good if true but alot of the reps have no clue.

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

The reps will always be clueless.(i go into the sprint store and sell more phones while im in there than they sell all day{this really happened, i think in December. i sold 6 diamonds in about 1 hour. Just by demoing it while people were waiting for a rep.}) i really hope they hit next month even though i used my renewal last Oct for my diamond...........( i gotta plan):evil4:

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

Is it possible to get insurance on a phone you already own, or do you have to sign up for it when you purchase the phone? ive had my diamond for like 9 months. I have sprint, the reason im asking is because last week my sister and I swapped phones and when i called the Tech to change the ESN's, they ask me if i wanted to add insurance on my new phone(the diamond which i already had for 9 months)

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

I think you have to purchase insurance within 30 days of purchase of the device.
The Rep probably didn't see the device was preowned but would eventually see that, once they checked the ESN.
If they are able to apply the insurance because of an oversight, well that's a different story :)

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

LOL... This is true! I went to a different store and got a new diamond via TEP. The rep there said iby September they would have them!?!? Then she proceeded to try to tell me that the HTC Snap was touch screen!?!?!? So, its verified....Sprint reps are complete morons!

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

No, they are just informationally challenged :)

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

D2 was never rumored for Sprint. I did not see that coming.

Re: Htc Touch Diamond And Pro Taken Off The Shelves
 

Does that surprise anyone?! :)
