---

Alright just saw this on Engadget, Telus will be releasing the phone this summer with a 449.99 no contract cost, I think that equates to like 470 American? Anyways here is the link!

EVDO capable!

looks like the taiwan version HTC P3702 Victor.

same hardware T-Mobile will use for it's Compact IV i think.

technically the devices are identical :)

I am almost 100% sure the image is just some stock photo Telus took. I don't even think it is a diamond. Just something to put up there for now.

i work at telus and have been waiting for this news since i first heard of the diamond. i guess this timing is supposed to counter the iphone release in canada july 11. they are not giving us any details, would not even confirm if it has gps. it seems hard to say as this is diffeerent than the gsm version of this handset. i can't wait to get my hands on one..... im torn on if i should give up my p4000 (titan) for this when it comes out

Currently, it says it'll have WIFI, Rev.A, and Telus Navigator, etc.

Those are the features that Vogue users on Telus have been fighting for so this could be a better alternative to waiting for a firmware upgrade... especially given the across-the-board improvements.

I'll bet that GPS is locked to Telus Navigator only... but at least it'll be active and I'm sure someone will free it before long.
