You wont have to deal with that company that will remain unnamed, that has apparently ruined the iPhone experience north of the border. Looks like Telus, has got the drop on the HTC Touch Diamond on the side of the pond that’s not Europe. Although it’s a CDMA version, and you’ll have to sign up for a three year contract (Eek), if the Diamond is forever, for you, you’ll be migrating for sure.

If you’ve been following the news you’ll know it’s an awesomely speced WinMo device, It’s got a 528 MHz processor, ROM: 256 MB
RAM: 192 MB DDR SDRAM and WM 6.1, nothing to be sneezed at there right?

So how did Canada manage to wangle the first release of the Diamond?

I don’t know!

Press Release after the break

When we unveiled the HTC Touch Diamond in May, we promised that it would be coming to North America later this year. Today Telus is announcing it will be the first carrier on this side of the pond to carry the HTC Touch Diamond. With this announcement, HTC continues our tradition of creating a family of devices, bringing the HTC Touch Diamond’s unique style and exceptional features to a number of form factors and wireless protocols.
Telus will launch a CDMA version of the HTC Touch Diamond later this summer for $149.99 with a 3 year contract. To make the HTC Touch Diamond even more attractive, they offer subscribers very affordable unlimited data plans like $15 per month for unlimited email and IM, or $30 for unlimited email, IM and web browsing.
