Best Buy, Radio Shack gearing up for Touch Diamond launch on Sprint?

It seems that Sprint's letting the cat out of the bag on its upcoming Touch successor -- within its trusted circle of retailers, anyway. We've now received some juicy morsels of information suggesting that both Best Buy and Radio Shack have been told to expect shipments of the MP6950 Touch Diamond in the next few weeks, with the big blue box tentatively expecting stock on August 17 (we think they're fooling themselves there, but it'd be nice) and the Shack expecting a more realistic-sounding September 2 launch. Along with the Touch Pro, the Touch Diamond should go a long way toward revitalizing Sprint's smartphone lineup at a time when the carrier can pretty much use every little bit of help it can get. In fact, we think we'll hook this up to a SERO plan and... ah, wait, never mind.

I work for the shack and no one really knows the true release date of the touch diamond or pro. I think that these dates are false. I hope that I am wrong because I want to upgrade form the touch to the diamond like many other people!!!

I can't say how...but I have verified the findings of the SPRINT HTC TOUCH DIAMOND being released on the date above...and all I can say is that the above information is correct as of today...now it may be prone to change, when the date comes closer...but this above piece of information is correct...trust me!!! Now though the above retailer says it will be released at that date, it may change, but as of today it is the set date...
