The Touch Diamond is the one that will be competing with the iPhone, not the Touch Pro.

You are quoting new contract pricing...

The iPhone sans-contract price hasn't been set yet but will definitely be in the 500-600 range. And either way, this is a much more powerful and versatile device than the iPhone.

Makes sense if they're targeting the Mogul users.

If I was going to guess, I'd say $299-399 with 2-year, and $499 otherwise...

I hope it's not much higher, because I will not be renewing my contract--ever. I had it the first year I had a phone, and bought the rest outright, and never looked back.

I love the fact I can switch carriers at any moment, and sell my phone on ebay--if I so choose.

I work at best buy mobile and sell mobile phones. The instinct at any best buy store is 129.99 with a two upgrade or a new customer. At a coprate sprint store they will charge you a lot more and make you do mail in rebates which most of the time people don't get back. I believe the touch diamond and touch pro are definitely going to be the best phones out this year, including the samsung instinct, LG Vu, LG Dare, iphone 3g and any other wack phone that comes out that is not a real smartphone and is extremely hard or impossible to sync with your computer. windows mobile is great though it has its flaws. those shall be taking care of when these great two devices come out i can't wait.

Does the Sprint touch diamond have the built in 4GB or does it have a microsd slot? I really hope if it's built in it has more the 4GB, that would be a deal breaker for me.

From what their Instict requirements were, either a "Shared voice, text, message, and data plan OR a Simply Everything plan." but that is a consumer device, and it would really cause people to be pissed off if half the selling points were charging an arm and a leg. I think the iPhone does that for the same reason.
