No, what's amusing is the number that have hijacked a thread about the facts of Touch Pro with a rant against Sprint pricing plans.

My goodness many of you just can't let things go, eh?

Unfortunately most of us are WinMo maniacs, we are lucky to have more than one phone released a year that is compatible with our service...lol

Last PPC released on Sprint came out last November!

Please someone correct me if I'm mistaken on this, if there is already set in stone confirmation that this device is coming to CDMA (sprint/verizon). So here I have some somewhat official confirmation. Here begins our scenario...

I work at Best Buy in Shakopee, MN. As many of you are probably aware, Best Buy headquarters is in Minnesota so from time to time I get some people that tell me that what they are purchasing is an employee purchase, so me being curious I ask where within the Best Buy Corp., usually it's someone from cooperate. I always ask what they do for Best Buy.

About a month ago I get the Project Manager for Best Buy Mobile, the cell phone department. Which springs me to ask the question we all want to know, so I asked, "When is the HTC Touch Pro becoming available in CDMA?" She responds with, "In about 7 months, at least on the Best Buy shelves." !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So begins my wait for another 6 months for the ultimate phone to be in my hands...

Alltel has no plans yet for it but that's probably due to the merger - waiting to see what verizon somes up with.

All I know is, I want one. Damn the early termination costs, I'll go to crappy sprint if i have to

There has been no OFFICIAL confirmation from Verizon or Sprint, only leaks. It is officially on the Telus website in Canada and they are CDMA. IT has also p***** the FCC seal of approval for CDMA.

Well I just hope it don't cost an arm and a leg and your 1st born child when it does come out from sprint lol

Obviously what I said isn't official. I am not the emperor of the Touch Pro phone. I'm just telling the community that it looks like it is pretty much for sure coming, but I guess for all you know I am lying (hence the unofficial part).

It is very likely that the Diamond will come in with the same price than the Mogul has had. That means the Raphael will be more expensive. I guess arround 50$ more if you look to the Europe HTC prices and see the difference in offers of Diamond and Raphael.

Yea I figured it would cost a lil more I just hope its not Krayz high I mean I allmost had my mogul for a year so if and when it drops maybe that will take off some of the price or I'll be able to sign for another 2year contract and it really brings the price down. I don't feel like paying over 600 for this phone
