Nothing revolutionary here, but just to add to the "rumormill"...my EVP person at Sprint just responded to my email inquiry regarding the release date (take it with a grain of salt, but he has been a good rep with great CS)

"It’s looking more like a 9-8 date. We will get pre-order information up soon and I will let you know. As you know, this allows us to have everything ready to go as soon as it is available…sometimes it’s released a few days before the official date, sometimes a few days after."

Hopefully this is true! :headbang:

I know this one because im 100% sure our network doesn't support that feature, just because the phone can sprint isn't changing its whole network for 1 phone. Also the Telus tp2 is out and its cdma and its not possible.

well the t-mobile one can't do it and I also heard from pocketnow that all the cdma devices don't support more than a three way call, so mayeb the gsm works, but i know the cdma ones can't do more than the normal 3-way call thing :(

T-Mobile is GSM

correct, i'm not sure if its gsm or overseas gsm, but the htc conference call for now only works on overseas gsm models. It might work with at&t i'm not sure, but for certain it will not work with sprint, verizon, or telus.

9/8 will be the day you can buy in stores, the direct ship date is 9/3. I believe your rep is correct.

The European one has a front facing camera also that we will never see as well.

As to the price, it better come down, with T-Mobile now offering it for $149 (see story on the Home page of this site) until Sept. 1st, and $199 after that. I WON'T pay $299 from Sprint for this phone.

And an article today about SmartPhone prices falling:

I just looked at TMobile and its listed as $349 on their site...

The deal is only through WMDeals.com

I think that even beats wal-mart's price for a new line. I think they are $200 for a new activation.

There are already ports of the touchflo on the diamond2 and the pro2 available, any software issue you have can be put on a pro1. The screen and 3.5mm is the only difference I see.

The instinct/iphone analagy isn't really a good one, a better analogy would be from a 3g to a 3gs, which is basically no difference.

But I don't wanna hate, its your money, your choice, your preference and it is a new phone with a wicked screen size/resolution. I don't like external keyboards which is why I have a diamond, but if that's a big deal then I can totally see the appeal, I guess my latent frustration at how easy it would have been to put a better processor and a better ui than just tweaking tf3d, especially when 6.5 is around the bend is coming out, maybe if I actually got one I'd feel differently.

Actually, I am already running a rom on my touch pro that has been ported from manila 2.1 and runs winmo 6.5, but I have not seen any rom here that is sporting the conference calling feature, because the touch pro does not have a way to put calls on hold when making 3-way calls.
