Oh, Canada ... How Sprint customers are jealous of thee.  While we here in the States are all banking on a Sprint version of the HTC Touch Diamond before too long, our friends to the north don't have to wait much longer.  HTC just sent word that Telus has cracked open the seal on their fancy new Windows Mobile smartphone here in North America:

"Telus will launch a CDMA version of the HTC Touch Diamond later this summer for $149.99 with a 3 year contract. To make the HTC Touch Diamond even more attractive, they offer subscribers very affordable unlimited data plans like $15 per month for unlimited email and IM, or $30 for unlimited email, IM and web browsing.  You and your readers can learn more about Telus and the HTC Touch Diamond at: http://www.telusmobility.com/on/pcs/data.shtml" 

$149's a nice price, but a three year contract?  Ouch.

Saturday, August 09, 2008to paul - the reason why its not "prism designed" is because the euorpean gsm version of the phone was modelled to be sold to that specific market ... it has a flat back for us lucky canadians - by the way its been officially announce by telua that the phone is coming out august 14th 2008 yes im going to be the first to get it with or without the three year term of 149.99 :
