No. You're thinking of the Touch Pro. The Diamond does not have a keyboard...

yea basically it just depends. when people find out they're out a lot of people send their old phones in so you just have to catch it quick.

E-Ticket at work...btw, they're still sending refurb moguls for moguls, and Touches (not sure if refurb or new) for Touches...

I check almost every day, and I'm on PPCGeeks on my work computer every day I'm there, so I'll keep checking, and post as soon as i notice anything different.

EDIT:

Btw, today they were sending new Pro kits for Moguls, but still no Diamonds for Touches...then I did one order for a pro from mogul, then they were back to backordered moguls...sorry y'all...

Just filed a claim for my cousin's touch, drunk guys and touchscreens dont mix, this is what I got.

The replacement option for your insured equipment is a UT STARCOM 6950. This equipment is selected based on comparable features and functions of your insured equipment. A charger will be included with your replacement phone.
Do you wish to proceed with this replacement option?

Selecting "No" at this stage will prompt you to call Asurion for further verification and claim processing. A different replacement option will not likely be offered.

Update: At first I went to sprints replacement website that I got from slickdeals and was only offer another 6900, but then try the link on the first page and was offered the 6950 as a replacement. Thanks for the tip Scrotum. Got me a Diamond!!!!

Confirmed as well. My touch got wet 2 weeks ago and I have been holding out replacing it until I could get a diamond. I have had 3 touches in a year go bad and was almost happy this one got wet. My email also states it is a new phone, not a refurb. My only concern with the diamond is the lack of a SD slot, hopefully I can get garmin XT to work on it. If so, I'm pretty happy with the exchange.

I won't. I don't usually post anything there. I just thank those that helped me save a few bucks. You're right, the SD effect is dangerous and addictive.
