no matter what you get now there is always going to be something better.

Wasn't the Diamond first released this summer? Now they are planning the HD for Dec. Only 6 mos. or so later. Seems HTC is looking to get these phones out earlier and faster.
For me the Diamond doesn't seem like such a big leap forward from the Touch but the HD and hopefully an Android phone does. The larger screen is a BIG +. I was disappointed that the Diamond is still 2.8". I'll wait awhile.

The Diamond first became available in Europe starting in May - full release around to all carriers in June. It may have been released earlier in Asia. I believe the Diamond is 2.4" and the older touch/vogue is 2.8" but I could be wrong.

I'm all for HTC releasing more phones though!

I give this about 1 1/2 years before we see it on Sprint.

The Diamond is also 2.8 as is the Pro there is another phone in the series, i forget what it is called, that is 2.4.The Diamond was released in Taiwan, where HTC is located in July, and was sold for as low as $99 with phone plans. Why do we pay $249? Shipping and modifications for US can't be that much.

The S740 has the 2.4" screen.

I realize the screen needs a certain frame to contain it, but the depth? No hard drive and no SDHD slot but rather a microSD? I would never get the iPhone and the HTC HD just became my new girlfriend in about a year, but I guess this is the price you pay when one company makes the hardware and another the software.

You forgot about the HTC having a removeable battery. That's a big deal and also makes quite a difference in terms of overall packaging of the device.

I said I was gonna jump ship when the Mogul came out (from my 6700) but it was never a big enough draw to me to do so. The Diamond, on the other hand, is so much better that the switch will be easy. Now, with the Touch HD coming out, how many of you can say that your Mogul/Touch is good enough for you to hold onto it for another year? Because it will take at least a year for this to come to CDMA, minimum. So, if you can keep your Mogul/Touch for at least another year, more power to ya, but I can't keep my 6700 that long. I'm going Diamond, and if it kills me not having a keyboard, I'll trade it in for a Pro.

capthr, thanks for the info - are you 100% sure the diamond has the same size screen as the vogue or is it possible they are including the area to the side where you bring up the cube menu system? I hope you are right - just making sure.

They're the same.

yea i couldn't make it another year with my touch either idk why but i just seems so obsolete now with all this new htc devices coming out now i don't think that it would even be worth the wait because by the time the touch hd hits Europe htc will have another device on the herizonen so then youll be waiting longer for it. i almost want to say i wish that technology would just slow down because my pockets just cant seem to keep up. but i want say that because i love seeing new technology just dont think that ill ever be able to keep up to date with it. well that's my two cents. o and by the way i will admite that the touch hd is a very very sexy phone i just couldnt see myself waiting for it because it might not ever make it to the US and if it does Who's to say that it will be CDMA
