Raphael/touch Pro Comin To Sprint??

[bothibodeaux]

I got an email, from HTC. I asked them about the touch pro, and all I get is the standard answer. Diamond Touch released first, Then Touch Pro...... America this year after Europe.....

And this was the most interesting thing they said...... I asked them about the wm 6.1 update..... They said sprint would have to get with them, which they have no knowledge of them doing, and they do not know of the mogul will get an update............. Oh don't you love Corp America B.S. responses

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.

That said, Raphael is supposed to come out first... Sprint is in dire need of a Windows Mobile Pro device with more than 64MB of RAM. At least we're not on T-Mo with the Wing though... I have a buddy at work that has one. Thing has like a total of 40MB of storage space and less free RAM than my Mogul!

I call Bull! I should know, just look at who I work for. The only phone that we have required anyone to move to the simply everything plan to purchase is the instinct. That was a marketing decision to follow suit with att's iphone spesific plans. It will not be required to move to the simply everything plan to buy "anything but a dumbphone".

That being said. The diamond WILL come out before the touch pro. How do I know this you may ask. I holding one in my hands right now. Just to end all of the speculation about which is comming first. Its the Diamond. peroid, end of story, game over. If you dont have good facts dont just make up something to seem like you have any clue about what is going on. I promise to bring only solid facts, not speculation. I would hope most of this community will do the same. Rumors just piss people off

Thanks for beating me to the punch.You won't have to change plans for any of these new phones.just a guess by someone who is wrong.

Only the instinct.
