HTC Diamond...pics stats

Rumor has it that the Diamond will not have a qwerty keyboard but the new Raphael will.
The Diamond is replacing the touch and the Raphael is replacing the Mogul.

..and with VZN allowing other vendors phones on their network.... looks like my next phone will be an HTC Diamond.

But doesn't it say that it's a GSM phone on the original link? That won't do you much good on VZW or Sprint unfortunately.

Luckily if this is the shape of things to come, there will probably be plenty of more polished versions of the PPC's we love coming out within the coming year

The Diamond and Raphael WILL be on Sprint's network. They will most likely remove the front-mounted camera as our networks don't support video calling. I'm trying to find the link that says Sprint will carry these phones.

And supposedly it will be somewhere around Q3-Q4 of this year. *crosses fingers*

It also better have an option to disable the sensor because I'd find that annoying as hell!

I just want to know how much RAM it has, because the rest of it is AWESOME. Now I really can't wait for the Raphael announcement.

Spec sheets say 192MB of RAM.

Oh yea, I read the 192MB part on HTC's site today.... that's going to be interesting! Thats 3 times the Mogul's RAM.

I bet it will be $599 or so with a 2-year plan...
