apparently not since you said the devices will have 2 cameras which they CLEARLY ,by the pics and Telus CDMA version on their site, wont have the front camera. No CDMA device will come with a front camera. So i DO clearly know what im talking about and questioning in you statement, do you?

Why wouldn't a CDMA device ever come with a front-facing camera? They could easily implement some sort of video-call system, even if it's not using the 1x network for the audio...

plus, it would be great for video sharing... even if it wasn't pure video calling...

on current evdo networks they wont theres no plan to implement video calling in their plans anytime soon. Remember CDMA is behind in technology to the world in terms of those features. Also carriers are already capping data as is, not trying to open up a very data intensive feature. The carriers dictate "what we need" in the US stanglehold of wireless. its the same argument why they have 5,6,7,8mp cameras and were stuck on 2-3mp still, thats all they think we need. The other factor is cost. Removing unused components like that save money on building them, also allowing them to sell them for a price consumers will actually pay. if theyre too costly no one will buy them. the structure in europe is much different they give away phones like the iphone 3g and diamond because their monthly service is astronomical compared to what we pay

but we already know the diamond/pro wont have it from the leaked pics and Telus version posted above. Its very very clear it wont have this component on it. its a moot issue no matter what anyone says at this point its been removed by leaked pics and the same Telus version already on their site

I will definitely agree it's a moot point. I was just saying that that the network is capable of doing video-calling...perhaps just different than the optimal method...

He probably does not work in a store.

Need... Verizon version... now!! Been waiting for a phone like the HTC Touch Pro for several years, ever since the Axim X51v... VGA screen, QWERTY slide-out, fast CPU, lots of RAM, phone built-in, etc. Amazing it's taken so long for something like this to come to market.

[ScrapMaker]

that's why you buy the phone without a contract...

Does either phone come with a flash for the camera like the Mogul?

screw the raphael and diamond loook @ the samsung omnia it has a 8gb or 16gb version of rom with sd slot versus the diamonds 4 and no sd slot plus way bigger screen 5 megapixel camera faster processor and tons of other features too bad att will be getting it same time the diamond is going to come out for sprint htc really blew it samsung is on top now with that omnia add a keyboard to it and its game over would be nice if the screen had 16 million colors like the iphone does and more resolution that's the only thing samsung messed up on but it still is better than the crap htc made and I also heard it will let you record phone calls unlike htc blocking the drivers on all their phones damn htc sucks

I believe you suffer from chronic run-on sentence making...

I still am hoping to swap out my Touch Pro back cover with a GSM version... hopefully it will fit
