This looks pretty ill but is the Omnia better than the Diamond AND iPhone 3G? http://samsungomnia.org

I will wait for this to reach in US before buying iPhone #G.

check it out, better pic

Only one major problem..you have to deal with Sprint.

fake picture!!! average photoshop skills

Looks like Windows Mobile to me, so that's probably gonna be a big NO THANK YOU! Too bad, because it looks kinda cool otherwise.

The Sprint Logo is on the left. It may be a stinky camera but you have to realize that pictures are camera images. turn it around and there you have it on YOUR left. *sighs* The use of technology has dumbed us down!

tanya, are you serious with that comment? tooooo funny

this phone gave me aids

Yes, its Windows Mobile, launching in US in Sept and this website provides accurate pictures of how beautiful and sleek the Diamond actually looks. Its features...awesome! http://www.htc.com/europe/product.aspx?id=46638

Tanya, you're a moron. Sprint would be backwards if it were flipped. Regular cameras use mirrors to flip images top to bottom, but digital cameras don't use mirrors.

this phone will never compete with the iphones endless software. the iphone can grow just as a computer. it will wont be matched, at least not for a great while. no matter how shiny this phone is.

Are you serious? iphone's "endless software?" Where is it? The iphone is just an ipod touch that can make calls and browse the internet.

yah, sprint is horrible.

what's wrong with sprint? Their the only company whose 99$ everything plan literally means EVERYTHING...and not just talk...sorry been with them 6 years never had an issue. Had random 800-900$ bills with ATT/Cingular and Tmobile. And had so called unlimited plans with them back in the day. At least their networks broadband as well with a phone like that, instincts pretty sick too!

this phone is gonna KILL the Iphone3g. and y does everyone hate wm? the possibilities and tweaks are endless. with wm u can take an average phone and turn it into a monster!!! wut am i missing?

Sprint??? No thank you!!! Now if it was AT&T or Verizon, then this phone would have a shot.

if its associated with sprint I would prefer two orange juice cans with waxed string for communication. thanks jaque

BO-ring.

interesting post, but I cannot see well the picture what it says it just a time:) lol, anyway, I wanted to buy an iphone but since I read some articles might the iphone 32GB might will come out this year? I might need to wait:) anyway, how I wish streaming service is free:)... and soon I wanted to change my other Nokia70 into iphone but I will be going to change my connection provider:)...okay just dropping by here, thanks for sharing!

I own a HTC Touch Diamond. It is a wonderful phone, very light and very fast for downloads. I love the phone and how easy it is to use, esp synching and downloading files from the PC. One drawback is that it has a 4G internal memory and no place for external memory cards. Overall, it is a great phone.

i still like my nokia 5190. cuz i aint got Sprint. hahaha

Looks good. Nice to have this one with Sprint and get their $99. I love Sprint's EVDO.

There is already that same exact phone out in Denmark. It's called the 3. Everything comes out in Europe first then the USA. FYI.

I had sprint in long beach,ca i went around a building and lost the call.Most of the handoffs just drop you.Please do not get me started about customer service.Just trust to stay away from sprint.Heck i knew friends that worked for a sprint data center so they could get a discount and they still stayed away.One friend was double billed on a $900.00 check.enought said

i checked out this so called europien website its real for sure there also coming out with different versions with a touch pad and flip out key board srry i have to go with sprint on this one

PLANT!

Sorry, but this phone may be pretty, but it's going to get pwned by iPhone 3G. The AppStore and new SDK offered by Apple is going to guarantee the kicking of some major butt. At this point everyone is trying (and failing) to keep up with Apple.

Touch Diamond is a great phone for those who cares about style and quality. Check out great presentation ont htc.com.

wow some of you are retards, and tanya i understand what you mean but you must select your words carefully so that retards can understand you!, ok art-tards listen up the sprint logo is on the left hand side of the phone (OMG really!) Yes, here is the simplest explanation, remember you're staring at the front of the cell phone. say your tards were the size of a cell phone(like your brains!) and i was holding you in my right hand to look at your ugly faces, which hand would be your left hand, the one next to my right hand's index finger or the one close to my right thumb..........think this through now......... just because your looking at an object doesn't mean that its physical regions change locations, corresponding to your view , all object have a front a back, left a right, a top a bottom and all in between!

I'll don't think I'll wait: The camera is better but 4 GB and inferior software ..... mmmmmm?

SW, Sprint is the worst. They say $99 everything, but then you'll see a billing error and they will NEVER correct it. Contacting the FCC and BBB won't help. Sprint IS the worst. Period. It's worth the enormous cancellation fees.

Sprint's customer service might suck, but no other carrier can beat the speed and cost of their data plans. I've had Sprint for years, and the only thing making me stay is their data network.

you kidding me that phone is mad sick kool...it will eat up the competition...GO SPRINT GO

This phone rocks. I'm torn between the Instinct which I can get from Sprint now or waiting for this phone. And speaking of Sprint - I've never had a problem with them (at least nothing I haven't also run into with AT&T or VZ). Their 3G network is blazing fast and beats AT&T or TMobile hands down.

I would like to have the phone but not with Sprint! Sprint service sucks the big one!!!

Hahaha theres a reflection of a black white and red bunny
obviously stuck on something like the camera maybe?
that sticker comes with guitar hero 3 folks
thats hard to photoshop in to a reflection of a shiny phone
seeing as the kid does have the bunny backwards
also you can see a light shadow, that is aligned with the light reflection

either very good photoshopping or this kid has a damn nice phone

it looks like it might be a cool phone, but 2 major problems
#1-- sprint need i say more
#2-- windows mobile

these 2 are terrible combinations!!! i can almost live with sprint!! but they screwed up big time going with windows mobile!! it's the worst!!! good luck with that crap!!

they should have made their own operating system cause i wont go anywhere near the windows name!!!

got rid of my wm5 treo 700wx for a bb8830. it was the best thing i ever did. wm5 sucks a big one!

All i want 2 know is how much???? Any Ideas???

Ha Iphones endless apps? are you serious? do you not know of the thousand apps that are out there for windows mobile? and i mean THOUSANDS! theres so much you can die in app extacy lol I have a WM6 phone with a remote control app maybe iphone 3g will get one, oh wait no infared ha.....theres apps to remote into my comp. Shoot WM has apps to stream movies and music from your comp. Dont be so ignorant with all this Iphone app crap because there are SOOO far behind its not even funny. Well it is kind of funny actualy. This Diamond will be better and yes better with SPRINT. I have had sprint for 7 yrs with no problems. True ive seen customer service get bad since the nextel was in the mix but I personally havent had any bad experiences worth avoiding sprint.
Iphone 3G my ass, you do know its about 1.4mb speed right? ha top that with Sprints EVDO REV A....3MB buddy and still being improved. I actualy want an Iphone but its not worth the hype. let me see you send and a recieve something via bluetooth..oh wait you can only use it with a headset ha! not even Stereo bluetooth. This Diamond rocks and is not limited like your beloved Iphone 3G! ok enough flamming on these peoples lol
But damn that app stuff is getting anoying after i have sooo many apps already for my WM6 phone!

Rumors are this phone will be out for Sprint Sep 2nd. I see they are already crippling a great phone....the camera on the front is already gone so for sure there not ready for video calls yet :-(
