Raphael/touch Pro Comin To Sprint??

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.

You make a good point--however, I was just pointing out that HTC and Sprint aren't always lined-up, numberwise... I know that the carriers have similar model numbers... HTC mostly uses nicknames anyways...
