If you looked at the playbook before you got out of work on Wednesday then you could have found more info on the Diamond ..

I dont work as a RCC anymore but I know the Playbook comes out Wednesday night

Also i havent seen it so dont think im saying its in there haha

Thanks! I really wish they would give a date so we can quit trying guessing. If it is at the end of the month when is the Pro coming out? I mean are they really going to be 2 weeks apart or are we looking at a very late october date now... If we are talking 2 weeks i may seriously wait for the pro...

This would be consistent with what a Telesales rep told me yesterday. I called, saying I wanted to order the Diamond, and she said it would not be available until the first or second week of September - perhaps the 5th or the 12th. She said she'd phone me as soon as she saw it available in the system so I could purchase it. When I asked about the Pro, she had no detailed information of that model, but it seems that the info on the Diamond is pretty much "in the next week or two"...

A rep told me the same but she said that it would be at the end of September ..

I said thank you and then just hung up

Okay, so I just got to work roughly half an hour ago and some good news I guess. The Planogram has the HTC Diamond on it. All the proper advertising is going up, but no demo model or pricing. Also, no OFFICIAL launch date. We will be getting a large shipment of phones this Friday and if the Diamond is in there it would match a September 2nd release, if not, almost for sure it's delayed... I'll let you know what's up when I get more info.

ViperVin · 08-28-2008, 12:31 PM

Great info, but any news on the Pro?

Yup, just saw that a few minutes ago. Looks like they should be released a few weeks apart from each other. Me = excited.
