$700 - I'll pass.
Hush @ Sep 9th 2008 12:40PM
I think HTC may have a huge factor in that pricing. Unfortunately for Best Buy the price stance for "new cutting edge" WinMo devices(released by HTC) always seems to hover around that 700$ price mark. I agree it's too high but it is what it is unfortunately. If it were to have been listed at lets say $499 there would be an uproar from the community kind of like how Apple dropped the price of the iPhone so soon. I don't think BB will sell that many. I may even pass at 700$. You can pick up a non US 3G one for 599$ at phonesource-usa.com right now. And I don't think BB will ever lower the price either. Dilema.

700 dollars? I'd rather put my genitalia in a blender than pay that....
Brian @ Sep 9th 2008 12:51PM
Great news. Hopefully this lights a candle under Sprint's ass to release their version already. Although bad news for those of us hoping for a huge sale at some point on Sprint's Diamond at BestBuy, considering it'll be up against the GSM unlocked for $700..
POOH @ Sep 9th 2008 2:46PM
i talk to a sprint rep today and she said the touch diamond will be out on the sep.14

WAY too pricey. I would never consider paying that much for a phone. If you're paying that much, you are likely going to keep it for more than 2 years anyway, so why not just sign a contract and get it for $500 less...

The cash is under my mattress, ready to go.

It's not an RSS feed. It's R.S.S. (Retek Stock System).
Strike4 @ Sep 9th 2008 6:58PM
Haha. Do they really expect people to pay that much for a phone? Why get a phone that will be outdated by next year when you can get a pretty nice HDTV for that price.
HTC needs to get a reality check.

It's kind of odd that they're putting the unlocked version in stores when AT&T is getting the Touch Pro and Sprint and Verizon are getting the Raphael in a month or two.
Jon Lam @ Sep 9th 2008 9:20PM
Maybe because no one is releasing a GSM Touch Diamond.
Michael S @ Sep 9th 2008 10:42PM
Last I checked AT&T was a GSM carrier.
Madison @ Sep 10th 2008 12:48AM
AT&T will have the Touch Pro (ala FUZE) not the Touch Diamond...
RC @ Sep 17th 2008 2:34PM
PhoneArena says that AT&T is getting the Pro and the Diamond.
John @ Sep 9th 2008 11:15PM
That kind of pricing would make sense if there was more than 1 3G carrier that used the bands the device did in GSM. Just get it subsidized.. but at&t wouldnt want this phone causing any issues with their iphone sales would they.
