Exactly. Even if Sprint didn't officially support it with included software/3G optimization, etc., it would still be nice to use with third party programs. With Rev A, upload speeds should be adequate, plus there is always WiFi. Lack of simultaneous voice and data really makes little difference. The only benefit would be that the data network wouldn't have to carry the voice stream along with the video, but typical VOIP carries voice at a fairly low bitrate, so the difference isn't huge.
Edit: While I agree that it would be more logical for Sprint to release the Pro as a Mogul replacement first, most evidence seems to indicate that it will be the Diamond making the first debut. Just have to wait and see. Also, why whould Tegra based phones necessarily include a front-mount camera? Isn't it the networks that are requesting their removal?
