HTC Diamond/ Sprint or Verizon

[Youmoussa]

Thanks all for your answers.

I have never read so far about so specific phone for verizon. I'm glad I asked. The official ROM won't probably stay long, as there are so many improvements with cooked ROMs. Do you think that I need to make some kind of reservation or preorder when it will be possible? I hope there won't be so many people that want this phone as with the iPhone.

I'm surprised to see how expensive are data plans. We will open 2 lines (one for my wife, another for myself), but as we don't know much people here, we don't need many minutes for talk. Isn't it possible to pay somewhere less than $70/month? The Sprint's Everything plan offers 450 minutes. Does it include receiving calls?

I don't really understand what is Direct Connect. Can someone explain me what it is?
