I know tmo release is in aug but so is VZW,ATT, and us cellular? Its been confirmed they releasing in aug...and I agree is sprint was smart a aug release would be best. If they might have the hero in Q4

Everyone has been saying the 6975 is the TP2, but the only proof is some script indicating a HTC branded phone with 400x800 screen resolution and no keyboard from different sites. The Touch Diamond 2 falls into that category too... why can't the 6975 be the Touch Diamond 2. I have known some reps that can't tell the difference between a red sock and a white sock, so what makes you think the cellbrite is correct, perhaps someone thought it was the Touch Pro2 but in reality it was the Touch Diamond 2 (NOT whitestone or TP2, etc.).

Even some dudes that claims to work for one of the carriers said the TP2 was 6875 on twitter. So this whole thing about Touch Diamond 2 not being a possibility before the Touch Pro 2 is sort of one sided. In the previous release, the Touch Diamond came before the Touch Pro. I agree the FCC filing for the TP2 is pretty convincing but perhaps someone didn't see the Touch Diamond 2 FCC approval, who knows.

Then again what do I know. Just thought I would chime in about the next Sprint release. I hope the Diamond2 gets released, because the Hero does not look too special, especially that CHIN. YOU SEE THE SIZE OF THAT THING. Looked like the HTC HERO was happy to see my FACE or something.

Anyways... good thread and awesome speculation.

he just had the phone. We went into the store so the gf could cancel her US cellular contract cause she loves her pre more and I was joking about the speculation on the sprint tp2 and laughed if they got it first and he goes to the back and brings it out just the unit. I tried to get picture and he wouldn't let me take any. Sigh at least I finally got to touch a tp2

Yea I been keeping up with the model # battle going on lol but fact still stand the diamond didn't fair to well with sprint compared to the ever booming tp so it might be a chance the diamond 2 won't see the light of day with sprint just my 2¢ but this has become an awesome thread as you stated

Two nights ago, I got a call from a Sprint representative. She claims she was calling to do a survey. She asked me how my phone plan was working for me, what phone did I have and why did I purchase that phone. So, I'm thinking, she should already know what phone I have, right? All she has to do is check my account...

But anyway, I explained why I purchased the Touch Pro. So, I figured I'd take this opportunity to ask her about the release of Sprint's version of the Touch Pro2. Of course, she said she had to check her listing of new phones coming in. She said she checked and didn't see the Touch Pro2 on the list, so she said she didn't know when or if Sprint was going to get the Touch Pro2. Then she asked, "Do you not like the Palm Pre?" And she went on to explain all the features and why she thought it would be a good phone for me. So, I realized this was really a sales call to try to get me to upgrade to the Pre.

Anyway, I told her I wasn't interested and would wait for the Pro2. So, then she again started talking about how good it's features were and from how I said I use my Touch Pro for everything (Calendar, Tasks, Email, IM, Internet, etc.) that she thinks the Pre would be a good phone for me. Then I asked her does it have a Conference Calling feature that allows you to call 5 people at one time. And she said she didn't think so. Then I told her, well the Pro2 does, so I'll wait for that.

Then she was ready to get off the phone... I told her I needed some help with my music downloads and that some of my songs that I had purchased wouldn't play on my phone and she said I needed to dial *2 for tech support, LOL. Go figure.
