I am not surprised. The Diamond is a damn cool phone and with the ROM that will ship in the upcoming US versions, the early lag issues that were never as big a deal as portrayed on the web, are gone. I have been using it since June on ATT on both coasts without an issue and the new ROM which activates the 850 band (but not 3G) does make a difference. I used see the Edge E on the top of the home page in certain urban areas but only a G in most places. Since the ROM update, E appears pretty much everywhere and signal strength has improved too. Where there were two bars there are now three, where there were three, there are now four.

Some in the US lamented that HTC rolled out the Diamond in Europe and Asia first. In the end that will work out as a plus for this market as the few flaws in Touch Flo 3D have been worked out before the Diamond goes on sale here.
