Today Sprint announced the two Touch-based Windows Mobile smartphones from HTC, the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro. Both of these phones have already been released for GSM networks. These are CDMA variants for Sprint Customers. Most of the specs remain unchanged from when these devices were announced earlier this year. Both have stereo Bluetooth, 3.2 megapixel cameras with autofocus, Wi-Fi, GPS, full Opera HTML Web browsers, and microSD storage expansion. The Touch Pro adds a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

With 19.99 for lines 3-5. You guys can go onto the regular Talk share 700 and add text messaging and internet per phone but u are going to spend more then that for the packages. Unlimited text messages for 2 phones are $40 for both and internet packages on the new phones are around $15 for starters for ur BASIC internet use. You are talking $70 for a plan and $70 for the internet and text messages thats $140 for only 700 minutes? That embarrassing to even thing you guys are getting a deal by doing it that way. For $129.99 you have 1500 minutes with unlimited m...

What plans will these use?
If they require the $100/month plan, count me out. 3G isn't even available where I live.
As far as I heard, it will be just like any other phone. YOu can use any plan, but it could change.

Need some advice.
Can someone please tell me if it is worth it to switch in the Treo 800w for the HTC pro?
Overall, the 800w is a decent phone. It has fast internet and has WM 6.1 pro. On the other hand, it suffers from TERRIBLE battery life, an unusual screen resolution (320x320) which most 3rd party apps, (such as TOM TOM or IGUIDANCE) don't support. It also does not have great call quality, the call quality is average at best. The speakerphone is plain bad.
Does anyone know if the HTC PRO has good solid call quality? Also, it seems as though it is the same size as the 800w in height width and depth except that it is about 0.3 oz heavier, can anyone confirm that, or is it really bulkier? (Why do people call the mogul a "brick"?) Does the PRO have good...

Touch Diamond
Just to correct what phonescoop mentions in the press release for this phone. Unless it was recently changed, the Touch Diamond does NOT feature a MicroSD slot. Rather it has 4GB of on board storage, only the Touch Pro features a memory slot.
Which one? 😉
I'll take the Pro, thank you! 😎
