According to an article a PC Magazine article on Yahoo, the Touch Diamond will be available on Sept. 14 from Sprint for $249.99 with a two-year contract and $100 rebate. This pricing info and date were leaked out by the Wall Street Journal folks who reviewed the phone. I won’t talk about this laughable review though. Anyhow, Sasha Segan from PC Magazine had this to say…

The Wall Street Journal broke the news today about Sprint’s version of the HTC Touch Diamond, a Windows Mobile smart phone with a touch screen and a new, 3-D interface.

The Touch Diamond is a small, slab-style smart phone with a 2.8-inch high-res VGA screen, and it puts a cuddly interface of large icons over Windows Mobile’s PDA-style home screen. TouchFlo 3D isn’t just a home screen, either; HTC and Sprint have written a custom YouTube application, a customized version of the Opera Web browser, and a customized media player to try to make Windows Mobile more palatable to consumers.

I don’t really care what the WSJ has to say about something not made by Apple and I hope that you would do the same before casting judgement on the HTC Diamond.
