The HTC Diamond is going to be plagued with the same HTC BS that has turned them into a piss-poor company. I'd import this phone too if I knew I could get it to work on VZW.
I actually sell verizon (corporate) and between htc and sammy, htc is the clear superior choice as far as the i760 and other htc devices go. Samsungs standard handsets have been subpar in reception for about a year now in comparison to lg. HTCs' specs in our CURRENT line up (not future devices) are far better than samsungs and I believe that the Diamond and the Raphael will be very great pdas. Who needs 5 megs on a camera phone?

the i760 is sammy not htc, and as far as its performance, it is a pretty solid ppc. i've tweaked mine tons and have not had any problems.
regarding your 5 megapixel comment, that summarizes my biggest gripe with verizon - why the hell does verizon dumb-down phones and keep them in the pipeline for so long? "why do you need 5 megs" b/c i want a great camera in my phone ya dink!
if big V gets this phone, i guarantee you it will have dumb-downed specs (sub-par camera, disabled java, and no gps) and will not be released for a good while (maybe a year or more as they did with the glyde). you can't beat verizon's service, but delaying releases so they can dumb-down the specs and keep control of user's features is enough to make me switch as soon as my contract is up.
