I am currently in the US but then there’s a possibility of me moving out to Asia/Europe. so I don’t know which version to get… what you guys think?

It’ll work on the 800/1950 mhz spectrum if I’m correct. I don’t know what other countries use those bands but it should work in those countries.

Also, the Europe version is also out which has the…other bands. So between the two versions you should be able to find one that works in your country.

Yes that’s what I am asking.
so that means the US 3G Diamond will only work in US (3G capability wise)?

I think he’s asking if the US 3G Diamond will be compatible with European 3G bands. My understanding is the the US 3G Diamond will be a dual-band 3G device – UMTS/HSPA on the 850/1900Mhz bands. European 3G requires 2100Mhz UMTS/HSPA

What??? The US 3g version will have US 3G. They also have cleared the CDMA versions with 3G – EVDO REV. A – for like Sprint and stuff.

You phrased that weirdly. It passed the US FCC for 3G…I don’t really know what you’re asking.

I have a simple question, let say the 3G version touch diamond is available in the US, does that mean that version will only be 3G available in the US?

Same. I was so close on getting the Iphone since I’m a huge itunes user. Now that the Raphael is a month or so away, i decided to wait. Not only that, it has everything i need. I can’t wait to try video calling.

haha i’m tired of my razr as well. i’m waiting for the touch pro / raphael…just hoping that the rumored sep 2nd release date is accurate…

Diamond will come out this month for Sprint and Att. August for the Raphael. Sprint for sure will get it first. I just heard that Att will be getting it by December. sigh. so looong.

I’m tired of my razor. -_______-

It’s unknown which carrier’s will snatch up the HTC Touch Diamond and Pro phones, but we will know soon . I just hope it’s less than $500 unlocked off ebay or some other online store…or better yet let’s just make it unlocked at Best Buy for like $400. That would make me happy .

And Dave, my opinion would be that you should go with the HTC Touch Pro – it’s not terribly thick and I think the keyboard and microSD slot are worth it – a lot of people still complain about how hard to use on-screen keyboards (even the iPhone’s) are.

I do believe when these were first introduced to us on here, the poster said that they were suppose to be coming out for Sprint! Man, I hope that is still true because I’m with Sprint right now and I plan on getting the Touch Pro the instant it is released to the public!

AT&T will not be carrying this phone. I operate a franchise. However, I will be carrying this phone :p

Will ATT carry this phone? If yes, when?

By: Dave

Dave — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 07:56:45 +0000

Hmm just glanced at the pro specs, seems tempting to get that, rather than the diamond but, for it is the shape of the diamond, i like how it is flat and square with no curves. but then the pro i see has microSD, ( was hoping for micoSDHC, even thought 16GB microsd > 4 gb internal..) and then it has a full keyboard, been use to keyboard since cell phone came out, so it comes down to, do i want keyboard or a thick phone >.>, any suggestions?

Yeah I know, same. Although I’m waiting for the HTC Touch Pro – microSD slot, keyboard, more RAM.

I heard the release date should be around SEPTEMBER 2, so I don’t know where you got the December release date. Can’t wait! I just hope it’s under $500 unlocked.
