*Breaking News* Date Release on Diamond and Pro

[CuzinBucksBx]

The debate over the release date for the Sprint HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro has been under constant scrutiny. Initially we heard that the Touch Diamond would launch in early September (September 2nd) and then we heard it would be delayed until October. Thanks to our friends at Engadget, a tipster has pointed us in what we believe is the right direction (cross fingers). According to the screenshot below, the Sprint HTC Touch Diamond will have a ‘mid-September’ release date with the Touch Pro following on October 19th.

This information goes along with what we have heard in the past, but we are still going to cross our fingers for a September 2nd launch of the Touch Diamond. Besides the release dates, the pricing information is good news for Sprint customers. With the Touch Diamond selling for upwards of $700 unlocked on eBay and online retailers and the Touch Pro breaking $900, the Sprint suggested retail prices are a breath of fresh air. At $549.99 for the Touch Diamond and $579.99 for the Touch Pro, we expect the 2 year contract price to be $299 and $329 respectively.Having a taste of carrier subsidized TouchFLO 3D running at 528Mhz is just too tempting and like many of you, we can’t wait to take a spin with EVDO Rev A and HTC’s next generation of Windows Mobile devices.

Device Suggested Retail Price
HTC Touch Diamond $549.99 (release date: mid-September)
HTC Touch Pro $579.99 (release date: October 19th)

How long does everyone think it will take to get to the point where if you need a replacement touch under insurance that they will give you a touch diamond as a replacement? Like a year?
