So now the question is, how much is that contract-free Diamond worth to you? Yes, it’s got a flush screen, a fancypants new UI, a microSD slot, an accelerometer, and that Windows Mobile 6 that nobody can stop talking about at the water cooler – wait, where’s the downside again?

If I was a WM person I think I’d probably snap the phone up – but I’d likely do it on Telus instead. They’ve got the phone on contract but for $499.99 with no contract, although it’s a non-GSM version.
