For the price of the phone…does this take into account the price of the plan? I think that could be more important than the price of the phone.
Plan is not included in the HTC but Sprint actually has the best unlimited plan at $99 that includes unlimited everything, voice, data, message, e-mail, web, GPS, etc.
the sprint diamond DOES have wifi. in the comparisons, it says that the diamond does not have wifi.
You are right. It does support wifi. Let me change that.
Under video Recording, you write LG Dare… So just a quick typo…
Also, if the iphone doesnt support voice dialing, and the Diamond does, even with limited support, to me that seems like the diamond still won…
Thanks for the correction. Changes made.
htc does support wifi o-o. love this phone. the only phone i think (design-wise) that is that competes and maybe even beats the iphone. come on the iPhone SCREAMSSS sexy. why must the diamond be so sluggish?
still a great phone and certainly an iphone killer. god i love this website.
yea the diamond is cute but i still like the htc touch pro. I got to hold a unlocked htc diamond and it was so small. it got me pissed comming from a tmobile shadow seeing the gorgeous pics of the diamond on htc’s website, only to find that the diamond was as small as credit card maybe half and inch bigger in height… soooo dissappointing but id have see the htc touch pro upclose b4 i buy it. im not an emotional buyer so we’re going to have to wait and see
and does ANY1 KNOW WHEN THE HTC TOUCH PRO IS COMING TO TMOBILE USA?? SERIOUSLY I WANT TO KNOW.
