If the reported specs are correct, I don't see how you can argue that it's not "Verizon killing hardware". It's not even remotely close.

Can someone tell me if the Verizon version of the diamond will have wi-fi. That's really the deal breaker for me between the Dare and the Diamond. If the Diamond has wi fi I'll go for it. I know that verizon usually verizon takes out wi fi but just wondering. Also, does this phone support 3rd party applications. I'm pretty sure that smart phones support 3rd party applications. Thanks! Srry if these are newby questions!

VZW never takes wifi out of smartphones. Where the hell are all of you people getting this from!? Did they remove it from the i760? Nope. The 6800? Nope. The 6700? Nah. How about the 6600? I think not. It bothers me when people run around making false claims because they don't bother to do any research first. You should never have expected the Dare to have wifi as it is NOT a smartphone and was never intended to be. At its core it is really no different from a Voyager, enV, Chocolate, RAZR, etc. When will people figure that out???

The PPC-6600 didn't have WiFi. The GSM version did.

I kills me how upset everyone gets about defending their phone carrier. "Verizon's better than Sprint", "No Sprint's Everything plan kills Verizon's", "the next phone to come out is going to kill the Iphone", and so on and so on. Instead of using this forum as a way to pass information and help each other, it seems that too many people using it for b#tching. And it is stupid, rediculous b#tching at that. Half of you have never been on the carrier's service that you complain about, so you don't even know first hand. The other half of you work for the damn carrier that you are saying is soooo much better than the others. If that doesn't devalue your opinion, I don't know what does. Some of the people on here fire off posts that are incredibly non-productive for anyone coming on to get REAL information. Let's get this website back to how it should be Doitall76

Thank you I agree one hundred percent. Everyone has their own favorite carrier. You're entitled to your opinion, but don't be rude abouit it.

yes yes and yes!!! i always come here to find out info on the diamond b/c i want it. instead i find ALL these complaints about this and that and the 'other guy'. i just want info on the phone and any insider info that is out there =) one of my only agreements is that i hope that verizon doesn't take much out of the phone... my dream vzw diamond: wifi, gps, expandable memory (microSD, etc), accelerometer, no changes to UI. i'd love to have an easily accessible expandable memory slot instead of the fixed 4GB. oh, and all black and the diamond backing. also, i just turned 30 and wish i could get the diamond soon! =) great job HTC!!!! lastly, i wish VZW could put TV on this phone...

I don't get it, in the PAppeal rating column, how is the Touch Pro getting a 1 for Christian Dior, 1 for Average Joe, and a 7 for the High Tech Junkie, but the Diamond gets a 10 for Christian Dior, 8 for Average Joe, and a 10 for High Tech Junkies. The phone looks exactly the same (with the edition of a keyboard), and it has a few more features. That is stupid.

Never mind! I'm going to get the HTC Touch Pro version for verizon. I know you can get 3rd party apps for WM touch screen phones but where exactly. It's much more easier on a iphone... Also, what's the pricing for the touch pro. I am hoping for $300 but I know it's most likely $350-$400. Which is very costly. The touch pro has that QWERTY and a flash with wi-fi and 3rd party apps. So that's for me but it's just how easy is it to get the apps, (like the iphone?), and the price.

That's easy...all you have to do is Google "Windows Mobile apps". Plenty of sites to download from. Many apps are free. Enjoy!

It's true there is no centralized "app store", but it isn't hard to find good apps. A few sites with free and paid apps: www.handago.comwww.pocketgear.com There are many others (including a section onwww.microsoft.com/windowsmobile

i wouldn't be suprised if they put some kind of subsidy lock code on there where you can only purchase official software.
