Telus to start selling HTC Touch Diamond on August 14th
Where’s the proof that it’ll come on a Wednesday?
The KEYBO and other likewise phones were all released on a monday.
Plus the June 11th was the day it was announced, July 11th was when it was released as GSM.
So shouldn’t it be August 11th because it’s a monday, and it keeps in tradition with their previous release dates?
Is there any official documentation that says it’ll come on the 14th?

Just talked to a Telus store in Mississauga, ON and they said that the launch has been pushed back to August 27th so that every store can have enough Diamonds. Anyone able to confirm this?

I just got the word that its being released on the 19th because of problems with the number telus ordered.
