However it appears the Pro does not.

Since I don't want the bulk looks like I'm getting neither. Nice job Sprint.

Can I order a Victor black rubberized battery cover from somewhere?]]>Sep 10th 2008 11:16AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/
I'm no fanboy, but the ceiling has been set. Any phone thicker than the original iphone should be thrown straight into the trash.

I await the day we can get a keyboard phone that is still only as wide as that. That will be rapture.

Sorry HTC.. the Touch Diamond was supposed to be the closest thing to an iPhone yet.. but you took a lateral step here...

We want Thin hardware, Android OS, Capacitive Touch screen, and a real Accelerometer. THATS IT! GIVE US WHAT WE WANT!

Not everyone wants a thin phone! Some people, to include myself, like to feel like they are holding something of some substance. There is this major assumption going on that because thin phones are popular right now, EVERYONE wants one. This is just not the case and I dream of the day that people realize that fact. Not everyone is the same, thus not everyone wants the same thing. Not to mention, a screen being capacitive does not guarantee better quality. Look at the Samsung Glyde: POS!!!

One thing people fail to realize is that the iPhone is so thin because it's spread out over quite a large length and width. The Diamond is 2"x4"... which is tiny, so SOME thickness is permissible. I'd prefer a bit of thickness for a battery that would last me all day.

How sluggish the UI is though, is unforgivable and shouldn't exist. But it does, and the WSJ review says it still snails along. When your competitors have the public and the press backing you... your devices need to be better in every aspect, not just specs.]]>Sep 10th 2008 11:52AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/
That's a load of crap.]]>Sep 10th 2008 12:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/Sep 10th 2008 12:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/Sep 10th 2008 1:35PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/
You're right, it's actually sorcery.

The battery is definitely bigger than the unlocked version, so you can attribute it to that if you absolutely must.]]>Sep 10th 2008 1:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/
Actually, it is a well known fact that CDMA phones tend to thicker than their GSM counterparts because of the internal hardware that has to be used. So no, it's not a load of crap, it's technology my friend.

BTW, great name! "What the frack!" I love Sci-Fi. lol]]>Sep 10th 2008 2:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/Sep 10th 2008 12:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/Sep 10th 2008 12:28PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/Sep 10th 2008 1:21PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/
This phone is the first WM phone from Sprint to support Picture Mail. Hopefully, this means Sprint will roll out an update allowing other WM users and BlackBerry users to access Picture Mail.]]>Sep 10th 2008 2:21PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/Sep 10th 2008 2:33PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/Sep 10th 2008 2:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/Sep 10th 2008 4:55PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/
We noticed.

Many times.

And long before this post.

Get over it. It's a phone. Not a tattoo, not a piercing, not a suit.

Not that bad.]]>Sep 10th 2008 10:19PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/Sep 25th 2008 10:19PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/Sep 11th 2008 4:17AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-launches-htc-touch-diamond-and-pro-into-officialdom/do you see what customers want?
