Sprint adds the HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Pro, LG Lotus, Samsung Highnote, Samsung Rant and Motorola i576 to its lineup. The new Sprint Diamond is only days from full launch.
Sprint today is making three key announcements, all of which are aiming to give Sprint's Now Network a serious boost. First, there's the availability of One Click, a customizable user interface available on three multimedia devices - LG Lotus, Samsung Rant and Samsung Highnote. And second and third, there's the launch of the anticipated HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro, and the upcoming arrival of several new iDEN devices, including the Motorola i576. Make sure to visit our CTIA hands-on blog later this week to see these phones in action.
