HTC Touch Diamond to Hit Sprint Stores on September 2?

I've got another juicy bit of wireless network information scoop. This time it's for Sprint subscribers. Now, according to the folks at wmexperts.com, Sprint may be launching the HTC Touch Diamond on September 2.

The HTC Touch Diamond has been one of the most anticipated handsets since it was officially announced last May. Only the 3G iPhone has clearly surpassed it in terms of anticipation. It was rumored that Verizon and Sprint will offer the HTC Touch Pro in US soil. Prior rumors and announcements indicate that the HTC Touch Pro will be available in the third quarter. This makes the rumored release date of September 2 plausible.

The source of this info is apparently a slide or internal document that was leaked. The documents contained details and the release dates of several handsets that will be launched by Sprint. Here are the handsets that will be released in September according to the leaked document:
  • Sanyo Katana Eclipse
  • Motorola VE20 Vegas
  • Motorola i365
  • MotorolaV950 Renegade
  • Samsung m220
  • Samsung m320
Of course, the highlight of the list was the HTC Touch Diamond or the HTC 6950. The HTC Touch was designated as the HTC 6900. Since this info case from a leaked document, more confirmation is required. It's expected that the wireless network operator will make the official announcement in the next few weeks.

Here the expected specs and features of Sprint's upcoming HTC Touch Diamond:

  • 101mm x 51mm x 14mm dimensions
  • EVDO Rev A
  • WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0
  • Qualcomm MSM 7510A Processor running at 528MHz
  • 256 ROM, 256 RAM, 4 Gigs internal (no expansion)
  • Opera 9.5 for the browser
  • 3.2mp Camera
  • 640x480 screen
  • 1340 mAh battery
