Nah, it only has a so-so on-screen keyboard. Still where the hell are my Tegra phones?!

I'm ready for something that will blow all of these out of the water. This is just a Diamond with a bigger screen.

3rd quarter of 09? That is way too long IMO. This is a cool phone but it's not enough to capture the kind of market share Sprint really needs. With the Mobile World Congress coming up in February, I hope to see more than just another incremental update to the Diamond. I want to see something as game-changing as the iPhone was a year or two ago.

Well it will already work as far as the phone feature goes. I would imagine it would also connect to data, just not sure at what speeds.

i thought the htc name of the HD is HTC Blackstone (aka the monolith)??

Yeah it sounds as if the Rhodium is a device in development that is a sort of Touch HD Pro (keyboard version of Touch HD).

so a touch HD with keyboard? It will probably be 450 bucks with a new account, and your first born for existing customers.

........man.......slide out keyboard.....yea......they just shot that idea down for me. I have the VOGUE, had the diamond, and am TRYING TO SELL MY TOUCH PRO....looks like i will have to import the HD and use it on T-mobile, if this is true.

It has the exact same hardware (minus the screen) as the Touch Pro. So ya, it'll work here on any network.
