Sprint’s HTC Touch Diamond is now showing online at Sprint.com and available for web orders at the price of $249 after 2 year commitment and $100 mail in rebate (must activate with specific plan to qualify so read the rebate fine print). Judie has an HTC Touch Diamond for review and is in the process of testing the performance. Mitchell reviewed an international version of this device back in July 2008 and has lots of pictures and some pros and cons in his HTC Diamond Review.
