Raphael/touch Pro Comin To Sprint?? - Page 22

The 6950 being the Touch Dual would make more sense than it being the Diamond or the Raph. HTC tends to create a new model number for each device in the hundreds... ie., 6700, 6800, 6900. 6900 being the Touch, 6800 the Mogul, 6700 the Apache... then the 6600 before that even.

I don't see why they'd create half a model number for a completely new device.

Then again, Sprint and HTC model numbers don't always line up... Who knows what Sprint is going to pick...

Show me an example where they don't line up...

Verizon's 6800 is the 6800 on Sprint (albeit bastardized), Sprint's 6900 is the 6900 on Verizon, Sprint's 6700 was the 6700 on Verizon... the only difference in branding was xv on Verizon and PPC on Sprint.

You can't compare CDMA model numbers with GSM if that's what you're doing.

Reread his post. It says 'Sprint and HTC's model numbers don't always match up.' He didn't mean Verizon and Sprint

I think there may be an issue if I want to change the back cover from the flat to the Diamon GSM version... the camera lens location and the flash light location. Maybe just MAYBE they will be in the same spot...

Has anyone noticed that sprint just dropped the price of the Touch down to $99.99.

Everyone knows what happens when they drasticly discount a phone!

That's my point though. Sprint, Verizon, and Alltel have all gotten the same model numbers... so I don't see where they haven't been consistent in their model numbers. Looks to me like every new generation got a new 100, not a 50. 50 tells me its half a model - ie, Touch Dual.

Well guys have been out for a while. Trying to get intel on the two devices from various sources. The Diamond and Touch Pro will be released on September 3rd, same day Daimond will be cheaper by 50 bucks, I do not know why,so please don't ask. I may get my paws on one or maybe both of them within 2 weeks. If I do I will post pics and video. Until then ciao.

The only oficila word of release that Sprint ever made of a phone is the Instinct, any thing else most people find it via web or store reps barely 2 weeks away from release. As for me my sources are the people who have been trying and testing the phone for the past 2 mnths. Also I may get one to test it out in a week. The prices before discounts are diamond $499.99 and touch pro $599.99 and after rebate it is 249.99 and 349.99 respectively. As a lot of people may think I pull these info from my place where the sun don't shine, but I only try to provide info without the risk of losing my job, it pays well
