Filed under: Handsets , HTC , Alltel , Windows Mobile , EV-DO , CDMA The long, agonizing wait for Alltel to come clean with this gem is over. Starting today, subscribers can phone up the carrier with questions about the Touch Diamond and receive a response other than "Whatcha talkin' 'bout Willis?" 'Course, it's no shock whatsoever to see this Windows Mobile 6.1-based handset surface on the soon-to-be-Verizon's network , but those who've been waiting patiently will be utterly stoked to know that you can now plop down $249.99 (after all rebates and a 2-year agreement) in order to take one home.

Filed under: Handsets , HTC , RIM , Verizon Wireless , Windows Mobile , EV-DO , CDMA , Misc Let's do a quick recap, shall we? So we pretty much know everything there is to know about Verizon's forthcoming BlackBerry Storm save for the price and release date, and so far as we can tell, Verizon's version of the Touch Diamond is still expected to be totally underpowered compared to Sprint's iteration . Now that we've rounded the tables, let's have a look at this image above. This here is Verizon's internal training schedule, and given that employees have to complete their Storm courses before November 2nd and their Touch Diamond courses before December 3rd, we'd say you now have a pretty good idea of when these two will be landing. Hey VZW -- think you could make that "Blocking Features Assessment" available to the public? We're guessing it'd be a real hit. [Thanks, Anonymous] Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Handsets , HTC , Windows Mobile If you're jazzed about the Touch Diamond , but have a thing for albino devices, a Danish site may have unearthed just what you're looking for. According to HTC-User, the company will be introducing a white version of their popular touchscreen device come October. We can't say for sure if this intel is pure gold or a pile of festering garbage , but if the pics we see (just renders right now) and the retail order page the site is linking to are any indication, this magic will be a reality sooner or later. That's a good thing, too -- you don't want Apple cornering the market on white and black touchscreen phones, right? Check out one more huge picture after the break. Update: Engadget Spanish has confirmed that these are -- in fact -- the real deal, and will be headed to store shelves come October.

It looks like Sprint’s move to bring the HTC Touch Diamond and its sliding keyboard sibling, the HTC Touch Pro, to its CDMA network will finally bear some fruit this month. We’re hearing that Sprint and Bluefish are now taking down names and emails of interested customers that want to be notified when the HTC [...]

Filed under: Handsets , HTC , Sprint , Windows Mobile , EV-DO , CDMA A few new details have leaked in from corroborating tipsters about Sprint's Verizon-slaying version of the HTC Touch Diamond, and we're pretty sure you'll be interested in hearing 'em. The biggest news is the release date -- instead of having to wait until after Labor Day, Sprint users interested in nabbing the handset will reportedly be able to do so this Thursday. Also of note, it sounds as if Sprint will indeed be referring to the Diamond as, well, the Diamond (and not the Victor ). Oh, and the extra bulk over the GSM counterpart will net it a more capacious 1,350mAh battery. For those that skipped straight to the closer (it's cool, really): August 28th, $299 on a 2-year contract, or $549 straight out.
