The elusive Sprint Touch Diamond has fooled us again with the rumored August 28 release date, on which it never appeared. The latest news we’ve been able to find comes via PhoneArena. The team says that even the September 2 release date rumor is suspect now, and though we may see the odd handset in the wild come that date, the phone won’t be officially available until September 14. Come September 14 don’t rush to your nearest Sprint retail outlet either; apparently the first couple of weeks will consist of only telesales and direct orders. We’ll see I guess, but we do know we will see the Sprint Touch Diamond sometime in September as Sprint’s own Bluefish Wireless has a pre-order page up for the handset that explicitly says…Coming In September.
As for official specs, here they are:
- 2.8-inch touch screen, with four times the pixels of most phones.
- Loaded with Windows Mobile™ 6.1
- Vibrant TouchFLO 3D user interface, responding perfectly to your finger gestures when scrolling through contacts, browsing the web, and launching media… all vividly displayed as photos and artwork powered by the 3D graphics processor.
- Surf and download at broadband speed with EVDO Rev A Internet Connectivity.
- 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera for quality stills and video.
- 4GB of internal storage to preserve more photos, music, files and exchanged data than ever before.
- Integrated GPS for use with maps software for a full turn-by-turn satellite navigation experience.
