HTC Diamond Available At… CompUSA?

June 21, 2008 in HTC, Handsets

We’ve been wondering when the HTC Touch Diamond would knock on the American door and it finally has, thanks to the hospitality of the folks at CompUSA had 200+ stores nationwide but they’re now down to about 16 stores and have been purchased by Systemax to help build the assets and value of their TigerDirect subsidiary.

Curiously enough, TigerDirect doesn’t feature the phone on THEIR website but CompUSA does. And while we don’t really care what retailer gets it, we do care about some of the info dropped on that CompUSA page.

For one, it’ll sport a tri-band GSM Radio and it features GPS, WiFi and 3G connectivity. The doozy here is that it will cost $780 without a contract. So, even if you’re looking at a $200 discount for 2-year contract and some type of mail in rebate for $100, the phone is still around the $400 mark. Ouch.

We’d like to compare this with the American version of the HTC Touch Pro, spec for spec and price for price. Because if you’re already spending $400+, why not shell out a tiny bit more and get the works?
