Wonder if the verizon version will be cheaper due to the soon be obsolete specs? And $1000 that phone will be sitting on the shelves for a while. I'm perfectly happy with my mogul with the new update.

I have a question.. now being that touch diam is gonna have a 4 gig hdd. Now if we flash our devices will that erase everytyhing on the hdd.. bc i keep all my back ups on my micro sd... so if i can put that stuff on the 4gb hdd and it not get erase then that touch dia is great for me. but does anyone knows?

I cant remember where I read this but I don't a hard reset would erase anything on the harddrive. I will try to see if I can find that post to send you a link.

silly to call it a 'hdd' - it is really just an integrated storage card and is treated as such on current diamonds. hard reset does not erase it just as it doesn't erase your storage card even if you hard reset with it inside....

Best Buy has a bad habit of marking up their phones. They don't like selling them without a contract because the money they make off of a contract is more than what they make off of selling a phone full price. If I remember right, when they get a new contract signed, Sprint reimburses them for a good portion of the difference of the full price and a new contract price, and then on top of that, they get a nice commission (not the employees, the company). So I doubt we will see a $1000 device. Even if Best Buy sells it for that without a contract, I don't see Sprint doing the same.

Interesting...so basically, the only ones that would purchase from there are New Sprint customers.
