Windows Phone Thoughts: MobileTechReview Examines the US 3G HTC Touch Diamond

"Third time's a charm. This is the third version of HTC's groundbreaking Touch Diamond we've looked at. The first was the unlocked overseas GSM Diamond that had Euro but not US 3G, then the Sprint version with EVDO and now the unlocked GSM US 3G version. We expect the US unlocked Touch Diamond to be available from Best Buy by early October (according to their web site), and some online retailers and import phone specialists will have it sooner. We've already seen it online from several of the usual suspects at a variety of price points. Best Buy lists it for $699, and places like ImportGSM.com sell it for less, while Expansys lists it for considerably more as of this writing."

We've posted on the HTC Touch Diamond, or at least the GSM and Sprint EV-DO versions. Now, MobileTechReview compares these versions to the US UNLOCKED Touch Diamond which will soon be available at Best Buy, and is already available for pre-order. While pretty similar, there are apparently more differences than just a name plate.
