HTC MP6950 release date is September 2nd! That's the Diamond if you didn't know!

I'm gonna wait for the Touch Pro. The lack of MiniSD slot makes it a deal killer.

Plus, the Pro will have slide out keyboard and LED flash.

I too will wait for the HTC Pro (HTC Raphael).
the Keyboard is a must for me..

Price point will determine it for me. Like I keep saying, the increased screen resolution and form factor are awesome, but underneath it all, its still WM 6.1.

On top of that, by September I'm sure WM 7 rumors will be festering.

lol, wise man....

WM7 should need another year. Which means a new crop of phones would be released by then.

I'm sticking with Windows Mobile 6.x until there is another OS that's established with a large developer community. Android might be that alternative but until then...WiMo FTW.

Cant wait to see what developers do with the accelerometer.

Same here. For me, it comes down to whether the price justifies the increased resolution, because I'm happy with my Touch otherwise. After all, the touch has WM 6.1, GPS, Rev A, and a micro SD slot. The new Touch Flo isn't that important to me and neither is WiFi. Now, if the Diamond will be getting WM7, that's a reason to buy. Of course, Sprint will probably say that they will have an upgrade, but drag their heels on it, like they've done with the Touch upgrade.
