does anyone know how feasible the sept 2 release date is for the diamond. Seems to me that if sprint was seriously conisidering this date they would have some heavy advertising going on right now.
Not likely. I'm in Marketing and there's no way it's releasing in a week and there's no marketing ahead of it. Look at the Instinct and how they advertised that phone weeks before the release. Sprint's marketing is either stupid or the phone is coming out in October.
I'm hoping Sept 2 so that the Pro will follow in October.
It's not surprising that we haven't seen any marketing as of yet. Sprint's primary focus has been and continues to be the Instinct. They're unlikely to promote the Diamond just yet so as to avoid cannibalizing Instinct sales.
So it is now 100% confirmed that the Touch Diamond will be in all sprint stores for a Sept 2nd launch?? If so I can not wait to be there on the 2nd to finally get a sprint phone worth something!

Yes to Sept 2. Was pushed to October then pushed back.
FYI, phones over $149.99 don't get marketing money from Sprint.
