Answer 1

hi fella. first of all i love htc (i m going to buy the pro). these 2 phones have the same design (face) , processor, screen, but not the same memory or battery life. the htc touch is lighter but the battery can last only a day if you are using the phone frequently its memory is 4Gb internal but you can't upgrade it...everything else is the same. the pro is more heavy (+20 gr) but the battery can last almost 2 full days and its memory is only 500mb!! BUT you can upgrade it with a sd memory up to 16GB!! also it has the qwerty keyboard. (only the pro has it) . the price of the first is about $550 - 650 (online 550) and the second ... $950!!! now, the second one is wont be in market until end of this month maybe until ends of September. none of these 2 phones are being provided by any service provider yet. in other words.. if you can afford  to buy a cell for that much money buy only the htc touch pro. the touch is not worth  specially with a battery that lasts 3/4 of a day. the phone industry has been affected after the iphone. htc had some phones back then with touch screen but screen less than 2"  but they were very expensive and not that useful. after the iphone though htc and some other companies are producing good cell phones with exactly the same characteristics as the iphone, with "low" price. htc , apple, garmin (is coming in the market with a new "iphone" !! , lg , samsung, imate.. all the same .. good luck  

Answer 2

diamond doesn't have the slide out keyboard, but the pro does.

Both Verizon and Sprint are going to carry these phones.

Answer 3

I think that the htc touch diamond and pro will lead more people into Verizon because it will compete with the iphone, the diamond does not have a keyboard so it is thin, but the pro has a keyboard so the phone itself it thicker, they are going to come out for sprint and Verizon but the rumor is sprint is exclusive to the phone for a month so whenever the sprint version comes out you can expect the Verizon one to be coming out soon. I'm thinking the price will compete with the iphone so around 300-400 maybe when it first comes out.
