I am really flabergasted that Sprint was not already discussing this. I can't understand some of the reasoning that goes on behind the scenes. Sprint and Verizon both want something that is a direct compatition for the Iphone and yet, totally miss the mark by initially skipping the HD. It just makes no sense to me.

If they do decide to go forward with the HD....please please please Critical...try to keep Sprint from killing it by doing the same brainless idea of leaving out an SD slot on the Diamond. Seriously, who ever agreed to that should have been shot.

or at least putting in 16 gigs of storage. if your going to compete with the Iphone at least hold up to its basic standards.

I'll end up paying $399, but with $100 rebate it'll cost $299, plus contract. Now what I don't know yet is if I can get the 20% I'm supposed to get off being a Microsoft employee. Seems if I'd waited and walked into the store I might get that. I'll have to call and see if I can get that applied.

Of course if I'd been a little more patient, I might have gotten one on Sun or Mon at the local Sprint store. But the operating word in that sentence is "might".

Other than that, I'm just sitting here rubbing hands together, waiting 'till next week.

Yeah did my EVP order also only because I could have the bill placed on my sprint bill and they were the only ones that would have honored the deal retentions gave me over the phone...I'm not eligible for a upgrade until 2010 (I BLAME THIS ON THE INSTINCT) but retentions pushed it forward to this Nov. 1st so i can get the 150 off CANT WAIT!!!!

I could maybe live with that but 32gb SD cards are coming soon if not already out and by the time the HD would go live, 16gb might be considered to little to late.

If you could order the TP from telesales and the website on Friday, wouldn't that mean the phone would be shipped on Monday at the earliest? I didn't think that Sprint pays for Saturday shipping on any of their phones...

Critical can you please please on your next conference call tell them to make a touch hd pro it will sell like crazy and the market demands it will be a direct competitor to the iphone and its a easy way for sprint to double dip or even make it the touch pro HD. With a Q1 09 launch date keep the same operation system as the touch pro add memory, for the hd. If they make it non sd slot make it 16gb internal or dont change the chip set from the touch pro. Include a sd slot. All they have to do is overclock it too handle hd add heat sinks (you would be able to add them easily because of the size of the phone and the keyboard gives you extra room for the heatsinks) there little to no research and design due to using the tp chipset, its cost effective for htc all you doing is adding memory and adding heatsinks for the overclocking. It will be a touch pro just with a bigger screen and format changes to the viewing programs. Total cost effectiveness at its best. and everyones happy.=D>

Critical, I have went through three phones and there's major build quality issues. From bad keyboards, buzzing earpieces and non-functioning speakerphones. Can you let someone know that we're seeing issues like these? 3 major issues out of 3 phones is pretty bad if you ask me.
