Sprint Diamond: Launching September 2nd?


We know this sucka is testing at Sprint right now and we've seen some earlier roadmaps that said Q3, so this just confirms what we've already expected.

Basically it looks like Sprint is getting ready to launch the heralded HTC Touch Diamond (aka HTC MP 6950; the Sprint Touch is the 6900) on Tuesday, September 2nd. So start saving your cash now. Check out Dieter's great walk-through vid of what to expect.

This puts it at around the same time as Telus (who evidently are a lot more open about their Diamond love than Sprint or Verizon).

The specs are expected to be similar to what Telus/HTC announced, though who know what Sprint will do:

  • 101mm x 51mm x 14mm
  • 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 640x480
  • The battery gets a big bump: it's 1340 mAh

Oho yeah and there's the 1st "glamor shot" of the Treo 800w, which is launching this week...you know, in case you haven't heard.

This just in. I called Sprint today and found that the Sprint Touch Diamond is apart of the September 2nd release. I was initally calling for the HTC Touch Pro, of course, but the rep said that she had no official memo for the release of the "Pro". So with September 2nd being one of the releases for the Diamond, the pro should follow sometime after. But you don't have to take my word for it. Just call Sprint yourself to verify this fact if you don't believe me. Just don't waste time talking to Sprint Customer Service. They forwarded me to a local store.

I can vouch for this. However when I called Sprint today, in Missouri, they told me the touch diamond is available for direct ship on Sept 14, and will be in stores at the end of Sept. The price is $349 w/ $100 mail in rebate.

I am excited to finally be getting this phone!!!
