HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, Coming (Very) Soon To A Sprint Store Near You

Posted by: dgoldring on Sep 03 2008 - 31 views

Rumors are swirling around the impending release of the CDMA versions of the HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro.  According to this report which was unearthed by IntoMobile, the Touch Diamond is coming in mid-September, while the Touch Pro is due to be released October 19.

Looks like the Diamond will cost $549.99, but will be reduced to as little as $249.99 with a two year contract.  The Touch Pro is $579.99, but will be reduced to $329.99 with a two contract.

Keep in mind, that despite the official-looking document in the image, this is all still firmly in the rumor category until we actually see devices in the store.  Still, it is nice to know that these may be coming sooner rather than later.

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.
