I am soooo salivating for this to be released! Can't believe the US price will be $1000--I've been waiting sooo long. Hope the price will be ~$600-700. Anyone know what the date will be? Will AT&T support this phone? IPhone...look out!

And no, I really rather not go to AT&T because of higher data plan cost and because they don't insure their WinMo headsets =(]]>Aug 2nd 2008 6:00PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/Aug 3rd 2008 9:28AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/]]>Aug 2nd 2008 7:09PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/Aug 2nd 2008 7:23PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/Aug 2nd 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/Aug 2nd 2008 9:24PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/Aug 2nd 2008 10:01PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/htc-report-says-touch-diamond-is-coming-to-sprint-this-month/
