In your article you mention the requirement of the data plan; this is simply so users have full access to all the phone’s features, including Live TV. We carry an unlimited data plan called the Simply Everything Plan, which allows our users unlimited access to everything from texting to push to talk to surfing the internet for the price of $99 a month.

The internet function worked for a minute, stopped working, worked again and now has not worked for the better part of two days. This thing is basically a paperweight for me. Tech support has been no help, got me a ticket and said the estimated time for a fix is 36 hours, but they don't even have one of these phones in their location, so their help is not great. This phone stinks so far. I got my Touch Diamond in the mail yesterday.

This phone is NOT listed as an international roaming phone with Sprint. I just got off the line with Sprint Customer Service. Repeat: The HTC Touch Diamond is NOT international roaming capable with Sprint. At all. Not even Canada and Mexico.

This Phone doesn't need anything Unlimited but I highly suggest it with the power this phone has.I have been extra hyped about this phone.I don't know what the big deal is about the rest of this group paying the $349.99 for this incredible phone.Don't waste your money on anything less than HTC products.

The Touch by HTC requires the Everythings Plan or Talk/Message/Data Share Plan. However, looking at the SMART DEVICES area of the rebate form, which includes the HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro, indicates "UNLESS DATA IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PLAN, REQUIRES DATA PLAN OF $25 OR HIGHER." That is straight from the rebate form. So, data is included in my SERO (yes, I still have it!!) Plan, there you go...Plus...I called Sprint Customer service this past week and spoke with Michelle M., in Alabama, who stated there would not be a required change of plan. She stated that only the Samsung Instinct requires the Everything Plan to activate. Now, of course I realize, and have experienced, the "double-talk" that is generally associated with Sprint Sales and new products. As soon as the HTC Touch Pro becomes available I am going to order it and see what they have to say then. Well guys, I downloaded the rebate form, am looking at it now.
