Where's the Touch Pro at? ;)

I get where they're coming from wanting an iPhone competitor, which this will do well at, but not releasing the touch pro alongside it will mean another game of catch-up when AT&T and the others release their touch pro and the x1, etc.]]>Aug 19th 2008 5:43PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/
and isnt the touch pro comming out a month later any way. ]]>Aug 19th 2008 6:34PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/

That doesn't bode well for the X1 which will probably cost more... poop.]]>Aug 19th 2008 6:01PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/Aug 19th 2008 6:21PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/Aug 19th 2008 7:19PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/Aug 19th 2008 7:22PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/Aug 19th 2008 10:53PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/
but i seriously hope they dont cause that would be the only thing stopping me from getting this or the touch pro]]>Aug 22nd 2008 1:31PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/Aug 26th 2008 6:25PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/

If this does turn out to be the price, Sprint can keep it. I'll put my $300 in the bank until the Tegra phones come out.

I'll stick with my Sprint Touch.

I really hope this is fake.]]>Aug 20th 2008 1:13AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/Aug 20th 2008 2:41PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/Aug 20th 2008 4:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/Aug 20th 2008 8:01AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/Aug 20th 2008 9:43AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/Aug 20th 2008 7:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/
I guess we're just going to have to wait and see.

I love phones, I love gadgets, but I just can't justify paying $299 for any phone. The Diamond and the Pro are going to be the best phones on the market and will trounce the iPhone. I'm sure plenty of people will jump on the Diamond even at $299, I'm just going to wait.

$199 would be fine, $249 is pushing it, but $300 for a frickin phone... What does Sprint think I am... an Apple user?!]]>Aug 22nd 2008 7:05AM
