This version has 192MB, not 128MB according to a recently published htc web page linked below. This is specifically for the verizon version.

It has a stylus (plus a spare)

I think that either you all are very gullible or very stupid. They have a picture of “device information” menu, and in it, to me at least, says either 192 or 142. Next time people, don’t take others word for what the specs are and looks for your self.
WOW honestly I’ve seen these picture before and thought to myself that these people are complete morons for not looking at the picture really closely, not even any of the other blogs picked up on this. It’s definitely not 128 but has 192 or 142.

Ok , this is why I left verizon, and I was with them for a long time. basically they take for ever to release a phone that when they do is nothing special, and usually has been either locked down or has hardware reduced.

Now just because they added a sd slot on the diamond doesnt mean it makes up for RAM that they decreased! now 128 is fine for a phone not running the touch flo 3D, but what reason would you have to gor from 288RAM to 128RAM?

Makes no sense, and hopefully when LTE gets here and if they go to a SIM phone system, maybe Ill go back but I won’t be buying Verizon phones

Can you please tell how you were able to get this phone? I do not see it listed in Verizon’s site… Do you know when it will be available?

I hate the dummed down the stats on the phone, but I still love the look.

Why is Verizon releasing the Touch Diamond now? HTC just released the new Touch Diamond 2r. Can’t Verizon just wait and get the new one with WinMo 6.5. Releasing the old Diamond now just doesn’t seem to be a smart move. Who is gonna want to buy it if there is a better version coming out very soon.

oh, and it does come with a stylus! it’s magnetically built in and fits seamlessly with the phone

that’s my phone (and hand), and whoever said it has the 4gb storage, it does not. it only has the micro sd slot under the battery cover. all the specs on this site are correct because i took them directly off my phone’s info screen. there’s a picture of it, but it’s hard to make out what it says

Sprint Diamond has 288 mb of Ram. GSM diamond has 192. That is a significant difference. And I just recently wished for more than 4gb of storage. But I have nearly all apps (almost 40) installed to card as well as Tom Tom and Garmin. No music or movies on there for me but I still have over 600mb left. By the time I need more than 4gb I’ll need a new phone.

When? Does anyone have a release date?

By: Patrick

Patrick — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 13:01:11 +0000

the RAM and ROM statements aren’t 100% accurate…unless there are 2 versions of the VZW Touch Pro. It has 192 of RAM and 512 of ROM plus a micro sd slot under the battery cover

I really hope it works out for those people that buy this phone, but its been out in Australia for some time and its a bit of a dud. I have one and I really want to like it, but my sim card is only in it for 24-48 hours before the frustration gets to me and I go to something else.

The Touchflo ui HTC have come up with is a nice way of hiding WinMo, but its just soooo slow and clumsy to use. HTC do get better each year though, so perhaps the Diamond 2 will be better.

Ya I so want to watch a movie, text message, make a call, add a calendar appt, check my contacts, play bubble breaker, see what’s in the city I’m in and use the internet all at the same time.

At least when I make a call at 5pm on a monday I know it will go through just fine.

external memory isn’t going to help you to run multiple apps, its just storage.

The faceted back isnt gonna make up for the rest of the stuff they took out. I wouldnt choose a Fuze over Sprints Touch Pro because of that…

By: Miguel

Miguel — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 01:59:36 +0000

Seeing that this phone came out several months ago….you would think that this would be better than SPRINTS version but its not…who am i kiddin.

I dunno why Verizon even bothers sumtimes…so its safe to say…SPRINTS versions will always be better than verizons.

Vzw only unlocked GPS on RIM and the Omnia and Pro the last I read but that isn’t to recieved as true. I did read that was the plan, as far that part of thier restrictions on GPS are concerned

Dude, its impossible to get excited about Verizon phones. They are always less capable then the same phone on other networks.

This version is not as quick as the GSM version. I carry a Diamond and my friend carries the pro and you can definitely see a difference in menu speed. I even tried to remove programs to speed this thing up but it was no help.

RAM on storage. The normal diamond has 192MB RAM, this has 128MB. Diamond’s have 4GB STORAGE, this doesn’t have any but has a microSD slot instead. THAT I like better, but the RAM (memory) is lower. Memory in computer specifications is not how many files it can hold, but how many programs can be run at once.

By: VZW

VZW — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 23:24:33 +0000

Yall are stupid.

The memory is less, but if you READ it has a Micro SD slot!

Thats the only thing about this.

NOTHING is crippled about it.

And Verizon unlocked all there phones GPS, the Touch Pro is unlocked for GPS.

Please, you people need to grow up!

The green theme is really killing me. Its like they tried to get this out by christmas but drank too much eggnog and woke up in March.

I like how different they look and the expandable, there was talk of crapware forced on phones eating up memory and making plans higher too. Verizon is the King of this and thier smartphone lineup is prime example

This phone requires data plan from Verizon as well. A big let down on the spec. I’m sure the GPS is locked down to VZNavigator as well.
