AT&T's HTC Touch Diamond2 "Warhawk" hits the FCC

You think the pleasant ladies and gentlemen in this FCC lab got to check out that nice skin AT&T and HTC put together for the carrier's branded version of the Touch Diamond2? Hard to say -- the documents aren't coughing up too much info here -- but we can say with very little doubt that we're looking at the filing for the so-called "Warhawk" on account of the presence of 850 and 1900MHz WCDMA. That doesn't mean it's being released any time soon, of course, but AT&T had wanted a terminal acceptance date of August 24, meaning that's when it'd wrap up lab testing -- so September seems at least plausible.

Only took like 6 months...Yay! I wounder what the European readers think when they see stuff like this? Probably "congrats on getting a phone we've had since January. Cheers!"

...but seriously...I hope this trend of manufacturers having to temper their US release dates due to "carrier exclusivity" and/or "custom user interfaces" comes to and end one day.

i'm sure ATT will cripple it with bloatware like they do every phone.

Yes they will and so as Vodafone in europe. I'm from The Netherlands moved to The U.S 4 years a go, so I know how it is. I used to have any smartphone I wanted CHEAP! My last provider before I moved here was Voda NL, I paid 42.50 eur/mo for 300 min and unlimited data plan. I paid for the phone was 25 eur. Last week I called my brother about the price of TD2, he said He can get it for free with Telfort's 2 year agreement (24.95 eur/mo). Why is so expensive here!

One day - just one day - the US carriers will run out of names to cellular phones. What will they do? I guess they'll stop selling cellular phones or maybe - just maybe - they'll act like the rest of the world and start calling cellular phones by their model, and not by those idiotic names ("idiotic names" was the understatement of the year)...


"Warhawk"... omg give me a break...

It continues to amaze me that HTC fails to provide release dates for their phones. And by release I mean able to be purchased, uncrippled, from them, not a US carrier. I've bought my last "save money by getting a phone we've screwed up" phone. I want to buy a Diamond2 with US 3G, but not if it means I have to get one without the fm radio and the front vga camera (which I'm sure the US carrier versions will dike out). If I have to, I'll buy the intact non-US version and do without the 3G.
