at&t fuze? i don't get it...

[ndn715]

it sounds like the touch pro (raphael) is coming to at&t as the fuze. that's great and all, with the slick full vga screen etc... but why is the diamond not going to be offered?

when most people see our ppc phones, they think brick. yes the keyboard is nice, but i can type pretty dang fast with the on screen keyboards, and look at the raphael side by side with the kaiser, it's still huge!

the diamond is pocketable, a good business device, and the type of design that needs to continue in order to stop everyone from getting an iphone!

the xperia is a step in the right direction with the keyboard, but i truly can't understand how adding a keyboard to a diamond almost triples the size!

any thoughts?

AT&T picks and chooses what it offers. Since it has that exclusive agreement with Apple why would it offer a "rip off" (Not my Term, AT&T's Term) iPhone?

I will be looking out the next couple months for an actual release date. I wonder what the will offer it for? I am thinking $600-$700 compared to everyone else. I would love to upgrade from my Tilt for Diamond Pro. I have 2 lines eligible for upgrade next month. Kevin

The Pro is just the next evolution from the Tilt, its a no brainer for ATT to pick this up. They have never had a "Touch" Winmo phone either as the phones with keyboards are easier to market as "business class" devices. Thats my guess as to why they didn't pick up the Diamond. I cant wait for the Pro personally. My iPhone can only hold my attention for so long before I have to get another WM device.

I've been hearing about the Fuze for a few days now, it seems it will be out soon, hopefully. Then maybe Verizon will eventually take some initiative to get better devices, and put out some updates for crying out loud! I sometimes want to punch the verizon guy in the face!
