Canadian Carrier Telus First in North American to Launch HTC Touch Diamond

"When we unveiled the HTC Touch Diamond in May, we promised that it would be coming to North America later this year. Today Telus is announcing it will be the first carrier on this side of the pond to carry the HTC Touch Diamond. With this announcement, HTC continues our tradition of creating a family of devices, bringing the HTC Touch Diamond's unique style and exceptional features to a number of form factors and wireless protocols. Telus will launch a CDMA version of the HTC Touch Diamond later this summer for $149.99 with a 3 year contract. To make the HTC Touch Diamond even more attractive, they offer subscribers very affordable unlimited data plans like $15 per month for unlimited email and IM, or $30 for unlimited email, IM and web browsing."



I know many of you were waiting for a CDMA version of the Touch Diamond, but I doubt our American readers thought they'd see it launch in Canada first. I'm frankly just as surprised as you are - first, that they have a CDMA version launched before a North American GSM version, and second that a Canadian carrier is getting it first. We used to be the laggards, but it seems Canadian carriers are pretty anxious to get their hands on these new devices. The fact that Telus, as of January of this year, now has reasonable data rate plans makes this device all the more compelling.
