Am I the only one who sees many comments deleted that aren't off-base??? I can understand with profanity and such, but over the weeks I've seen comments deleted and have no clue why....

The Touch Diamond, and especially the Samsung I900 Omnia both blow away the iPhone. As a Verizon customer, I'm overjoyed to hear that the Touch Diamond is coming. I would be even more overjoyed if the Omnia were coming to Verizon as well. One can only hope that Verizon doesn't dummy-down the phone's capabilities. I was already saving for the Diamond in the hope that it would become available. My prayer has been answered. Now, my "new Every Two" is looking real good.

dude dont get your hopes up, you might be spending your whole life waiting for that touch diamond i think the phones cool as well, but a release date seems way to far along, i mean it could tak another two years for them to get it, who knows.Cant wait till it gets to Sprint wimax though!

For all the crap that we give the IPhone, without it we probably wouldn't see phones like the Diamond. I personally don't want an IPhone, but am happy that it came out. It has pushed manufacturers like Samsung, LG and HTC to step up their games and offer better products. I was looking at a Dare, but now I will wait.

I'm not so sure about that. HTC released the original Touch device in Europe before the iPhone was released and the Diamond is an updated, sleeker Touch device. I will agree that devices like the Dare, the Instinct and the Voyager were all innovative responses to the iPhone, but I think the Diamond would have been released even without the iPhone as it is an improvement on a design that HTC had already created. If anything, the iPhone just pushed HTC to move quicker with the device instead of taking their sweet time like they typically do designing new devices. I also think most people are forgetting the Android phone that Google is working on with manufacturers. My only question is that when Google releases the Android UI and the first device is created, when Apple releases it's 3rd iPhone with Android included, do I get to blast message boards about how the almighty Apple is copying the first Android device?

I was just about to order the Dare today, but change my mind. Should I wait for the bb thunder or the diamond

The diamond and touch pro are probably going to be released months after sprint. Verizon sucks anyway.

why does everyone keep on mentioning the prada. It came out in Europe for goodness sake. WE'RE IN AMERICA!! Its funny how everyone is always attacking the iphone. I think this phone is one of the phone's with the most attention. A survey was done by apple and they said that 1 in 3 people who were planning on buying a new phone were going to buy the apple. I mean seriously, they are sending the iphone in over 70 countries by the end of this year. What other phone in the U.S. can say that? What other phone in the WORLD can say that? And the iphone has done two extrodinary things. It has caused carriers to come out with strong devices and there are more touch screens in U.S. Secondly, the prices of phoens are lowered to compete witht the iphone. The dare would not have been $199 if the iphone costed $399. The instinct would not have been $129 either.

We live in the third world country of cellphone world. My friend who just visited from Indonesia (every heard of it?), wanted to video call her bf, and she was so surprised that we don't have that technology here. iPhone is all about interface, it makes it easier than ever to use a phone, from a 5 yo to a 90 yo. But when it comes to global phone distribution, Apple still cannot compete with global name, such as Nokia or Sony Ericsson. iPhone is fancy and beautiful, but it is not feature packed phone. If you go overseas (Europe, Asia, Middle East), you will be surprised to see in the meetings almost none of your counterparts using iPhone. Most of them are using either HTCs, Blackberrys or Nokias.

Everyone mentions the iphone like its the gold standard and its not. Thats why we bring it up. All these apple fanboys act like its perfect. There isn't a cell phone thats even close. The iphone is beatiful, easy to use, and plays your old media great. It is TERRIBLE AT ANYTHING ELSE PERIOD. PERIOD. PERIOD. Stop pretending it can compete with a windows, palm, or symbian. Technically the iphone IS NOT A SMART PHONE.. Its a great dumb phone that can be hacked into a good one. But the 3G probably wont be so hackable at first at least. Video recording, instant messaging, cut and paste, stereo bluetooth, cam resolution change, cam flash, MMS, OTA music downloads, TV/Video service, removable battery are all standard on any phone that wants to be a smart phone you probably have to at least 7 or 8 out of the ten. The iphone has none. It is still revolutionary and a great phone but I can do things on my almost three year old samsung that the iphone will not be able to do. So i know alot of people will like the iphone better but in my opinion I like the mogul alot better. And the touch pro will be even better than that.

"I mean seriously, they are sending the iphone in over 70 countries by the end of this year. What other phone in the U.S. can say that? What other phone in the WORLD can say that?" How about the motorola RAZR, the pinnacle of mobile phone technology?

Half of you people make fun of the iPhone and the other half make fun of everything else escept the iPhone. How about this.....IF YOU DON'T LIKE A PARTICULAR PHONE....DON'T COMMENT ON IT?
