Let the Countdown Begin…56 Days Till Diamonds Become a Man’s Best Friend

Not that anyone is counting or anything, but it looks like the HTC Diamond is coming to Sprint on September 2.  I have to admit that I had been head over heels, 95% in love with this one, money in hand and ready to buy.  Then I read Mitchell’s review of it over at Gear Diary.  Yikes!  All I can say is that I hope Sprint makes some improvements before I buy this one.

Anyway, for those of you who are not deterred by some mild criticism, mark your calendars.  Rumor has it that September 2 is going to be the big day for the MP 6950 (which is a considerably less inventive name than Diamond, so I think we will keep calling it that.)

Looking at the proposed specs (which are maybe a step above idle speculation), it looks like the CDMA version will also sport a more adequate battery, at 1350 mAh (which will also make for a larger device).  Other specs will likely include:

EVDO Rev A

WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0

Qualcomm MSM 7510A Processor running at 528MHz

256 ROM, 256 RAM, 4 Gigs internal (no expansion)

Opera 9.5 for the browser

Camera is still 3.2mp, screen is still 640×480

I don’t know about all of you, but I will be holding my breath.
