Sprint’s Touch Diamond coming on August 28th?

We’ve already reported Sprint will be launching the HTC Touch Diamond. As a matter of fact, we told you the struggling CDMA carrier will be offering the device in quite attractive red color. And now it seems we have the exact release data — “it seems” part is there cause we haven’t seen the official press release.
Apparently, Sprint (NYSE: S)’s potential and existing users will be able to grab the Touch Diamond starting from August 28th. The device will cost $299 on a 2-year contract, or $549 sans any agreements signed.
Last, but not the least, the CDMA version of the Touch Diamond will come with much larger (than its GSM brother) 1,350mAh battery. Not sure how many hours of web surfing or video playback that includes, but it certainly sounds a lot…

Price is still up in the air, it might drop to $250 after MIR, and the release date is not going to be before Sept 2nd, it has actually been mentioned around the 17th. I’ll double check my info just to make sure.
September 17th according to the Sprint rep I just spoke with on the phone. You had me all excited. I woke up an hour early so I could go to Sprint and get it!
It’s August 28th in Australia, not the United States.
Sprint Manager showed me an internal email that said HTC Diamond through customer care only on Sept. 14 released 2 weeks later in stores
this fugly as hell … why couldn’t they have left the design like it was … I’m definitely not buying this now. I hope they don’t eff up the Touch Pro like this …
