LMAO, I can't believe you just said that. I know Herman is a bad name but it really isn't that bad is it?

Herman is a HORRIBLE name. Also, it is my father in law's name so that makes it even worse.

Am I alone on this?

I am aware of SOFTWARE differences on phones, and ROMs and such, but a difference in hardware sounds a bit complicated for a production line, since they would be turning out 50 different Diamonds and Touch Pro's to cater to every carrier.

wouldn't Verizon's phone specs be just as secret and exclusive as Sprint's? Why would HTC or verizon be giving out this information to a competitor, who then releases this information to others?

I'm not trying to completely debunk this, I just think its pretty freaking fishy...

All I can say is if you think for a second that Sprint can't pull some strings to find out anything it can about Verizon's phone lineup, or Sprint doesn't have people they sent over to be employed by Verizon solely to relay information to Sprint, or that Sprint couldn't pay someone off at HTC to find out information, you seriously gotta remember we're dealing with a Corporation, they are dirty and will do whatever it takes bro.

I don't think it really has that much to do with it. IF they end up being different, I think it just chalks up to maybe Verizon feels they have some other goal to appeal to their audience.

You just made my day! LMFAO!

Oh, also, does anyone know whether or not he T-mobile version of the Touch Pro [MDA or something like that] has the stainless steel frame? Because I was wondering if the metal frames indicate that they are squared devices like the original HTC renderings and the current GSM models. I don't want the tops and bottoms to be curved like the mogul [and MDA]

It will always be the touch and touch pro in my world.
I'll probably sell it to customers that way as well.
We all know there will be little advertising if any on these products anyways.

No I was talking about how Sprint would know what phone Verizon was going to get.

Well, I do see where he's coming from. I don't really think that Sprint has employees go work for Verizon, but it is very likely that Sprint did convince HTC to give them information on Verizon. Either that, or it is open information between corporate offices anyway. But you always have to remember, these companies want to protect their money

It's a HORRIBLE downgrade form "Mogul" to "Herman". Herman is the janitor at the Mogul's business. I don't get it.
