It is 6mm (little more than 1/8") thicker than the diamond... Not quite 2". And for a real keyboard I'll deal with that MASSIVE girth! It's about half the size of my Apache.

I think it's more like 8mm thicker, still worth a full qwerty.

hopefully verizon doesnt change the color of the Diamond and the Pro to white like they did to the Touch, it would jus completely ruin them two phones.

Wow I really hope verizon releases info on this phone soon. I was planning to go on july 3rd for the dare but now that this is announced it is a really hard choice. I just emailed them asking questions such as the date and stuff. Just when I thought I would have a normal week waiting for the dare, this bullshit happens. They must be retarded to release this kind of information right before the dare goes on sale in stores.

Yeah, thats how tech rumors work... Verizon didn't "release" this information, this information got leaked. E-mail won't do you any good since none if its official. Any or all of it could change at a moments notice. As others pointed out, you'll spend your whole life waiting for a next great new phone if you don't just bite the bullet and get one at some point. By the time the VZW Diamond hits HTC will be working on a better one and those details will start to leak. Same with the BB Thunder. It will get released and either BB will already be working on a sucessor or Samsung, LG, Nokia, etc will be waiting in the wings with something even better just a few months down the road. Personally thats part of the reason I just spend the extra $50 to get the one year contract.

ya i'm soo glad to hear this news too cuz daamn! for the past month, Ive been obessing about the Touch Pro but was sad cuz it wasnt out for Verizon. I was thinkin about switching carriers but didnt want to leave the great big red service. Now w/ this info, I'm content =)

The Thunder in an interesting option but a Qwerty keyboard makes emails and texts a lot easier to compose. I just hope that Verizon doesn't mess around and do the same thing they did last fall with the Touch (i.e. change the color and then release 6 to 8 months too late); because I have bee eligible for my upgrade since last August and I am really looking forward to seeing the Raphael/Touch Pro.

I'm sorry Trevor but the Iphone is the most overrated phone on the market. It lacks so many basic features, yes it does have a fine OS, but still the phone does not offer much. Plus At&T is garbage....

Remember that Verizon is completely changing its ways with just about everything. Most of the new devices will be open-source, and and open to do anything especially Bluetooth file transfer which is already seen in the Dare and Decoy. Verizon is making the necessary changes to make them the best overall carrier. They already had the coverage, they just needed to change ways in the phones. Plus our phone lineup is the best of all the carriers.

best phone lineup is questionable but i will agree that they are taking steps in the right direction

ditto, I am interested to see what open-source phones will emerge. Also, the any device, any app deal is pretty exciting (if you're a cell phone junky like me).

Glad to see the change as a long time Verizon customer. Best line-up, though...come on. I'm always thinking about leaving because of the line-up

Actually Trevor the IPhone in itself is a knockoff...LG came out with the first touchscreen phone in europe called the prada

I going to get the htc touch pro when it comes to t-mobile. I had verizon before and it sucks compared to t-mobile. Or maybe the new iphone, I haven't decided yet. Hopefully t-mobiles 3g is fast where i live.

I don't think T-mobile offers 3g at all. By the way they are the worst carrier. Go to Att, at least they are 2nd to last worst carrier
