i dont know anything about the treo/pro sales seeing as i work only with HTC...but in the US on a national level....SPRINT sells 3,000 Diamonds a month(A huge surprise and disappointment!!!) vs 15,000 TP's(an even Bigger Surprise)
guess ppl are willing to pay more for the keyboard. thats factual sales info directly from Sprint

Hell, they just included another fifty dollar instant rebate to the device so it will start to sell, the Touch Pro is selling more than the Diamond. I think your friend is mistaken.

of course they reduced its price...they wanna get rid of them so they can bring out the new one....and just so you guys know...yall might be surprised...or maybe not...at what sprint is going to do with the diamond line...cant talk bout that yet lol

I work for an indirect dealer for several phone companies and the rumors are in fact true. Diamond and TP are for sure going EOL.

Regardless of opinion of onscreen keyboard vs. physical keyboard, I think the deal breaker for most people with the Diamond was the lack of storage card. It was for me. Has anyone come across pictures of the D2 for U.S.? Seen a few for TP2 but none for D2(makes me wonder right there if we'll get one, hmm). I hope U.S. D2 will get a similar design, because, imo it looks like a flat floor tile.

dont think were getting a D2 sorry dude lol...or maybe we might.... but yes that is a huge downside to the diamond however...im better the palm pre which has 8gb internal will sell more then 3,000 a week lol
