Excelent review and rating. I am surprise you haven't been stolen by any of the technical magazines or technical shows as an expert/analyst. I am glad you are with Smart Phone Evolution. Yooooooooou Rock Dash!!!!

hahahaha i do some stuff on the side and this is my baby and i will never leave it..... (too many memories of building this place from scratch with wcked aka wcked) but anyways i do some testing on phones for sprint and now vodafone (as of last week) basically test the phone and write a review and submit itto them and i get to keep the device..... so it works for me lmao.

[skorpio24]

Dash, you rule !!!! I've had my Mogul since July and im ready 2 sell it for this baby. I recently saw the Touch Diamond in LV and I was like "OKAY, if im feelin the diamond like this then I KNOW the touch pro is gonna be hella tight" :yahoo: I cant wait :yahoo:

Thanks for your thorough review of this phone man!! This is actually what I wanted from a phone when I got my Touch. I just hope I will be able to get my hands on one.

One feature I'm a little disappointed about not being included is the front camera. Although not a huge deal, I always am looking forward to the future with newer features and technologies packed into these tiny hand-held devices... ...and thinking about being able to look at someone while talking to them (and vice-versa) seemed like another entertaining prospect.

In any case, the lack of it won't stop my desire for (or need to get) the Touch Pro. I just hope the thing won't break my bank account!

What happened to this feature? Are the CDMA providers concerned about about us burning up too much bandwidth with video calling? I was really excited about this.

Is Sprint the only carrier picking up the Touch Pro? Any word on Verizon/Alltel?

verizon is getting it eventually not sure about altell. as for the front camera...there is no video calling on sprint right now anyway. even if you had a phone with a camera on the front so YOU could do video calling only other people with that phone would be able to do it. Sprint would have to come out with a complete new line of phones to accommodate this new technology and economically they are not even close into a position to make a move like that.

[MizzBBri]

MAN...aren't you the lucky one...I've been waiting on this phone for a while...I guess that my mogul is going to have to suffice until the Touch Pro comes out....any idea as to when that's suppose to happen? I know the Diamond is rumored for this week sometime...but I enjoy a keyboard :-D...

Is it about the same thickness as the mogul? the pictures tend to make the pro look a lil chunky...

[D/\SH]

naw the diamond is to be released on the 14th of september while the touch pro isnt going to drop officially until the 19th of october..... and for the thickness it is a great deal thinner than the mogul....... look in my review i tell you there and more o nthe first or second page when someone already asked that question.

[iTouch24]

bigger then the touch but smaller then mogul

[D/\SH]

yupperz, that is correct sir.

[iTouch24]

anyone getting excited about the release date getting closer....?

[iTouch24]

i know u prob held a few hundred or thousand of these phones already .. would u say that it feels like the thickness of a deck of cards in your hand or maybe like two decks of cards.. i saw pictures in which it looks real thick but then people said that it doesnt feel that thick in your hands .... hhhmmmm .... i guess its more of a holster phone then front pocket one....??

[D/\SH]
