Default Expansys Accepting Pre-Orders for HTC Touch Diamond 2

http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?...rtner=pthoughts

Our affiliate partner Expansys is expecting the HTC Touch Diamond 2 to arrive on April 13th, around a month from now, and the price is $574.99 USD. This is the European/Asian 3G version, so if you want 3G in North America, you'll want to wait for the North American version. If you're in Europe/Asia, or don't need 3G speeds, this is the one to get - and, as always with our affiliate store, your purchases help us pay for our server - so thank you!

Default Two cameras?

The specs say that it's got a 5MP camera, plus a secondary VGA camera. What's the point of having two separate cameras?

The VGA camera is for video-teleconferencing.

ChrisW, what the others said. The front-facing camera is a standard feature for 3G phones outside of North America.

The device is appealing although I would have preferred a more powerful processor; I am tempted to give WM another try but, if I remember correctly. HTC stated that these devices will beupgreadable to WM 6.5. Am I correct? if yes could anybody post the link?
I got burned too many times by sudden "change of policies".
TIA

The video available from the press release has HTC saying they've taken TouchFlo further down into the application layers of WM. I'm assuming this means primarily the PDA functions (messages, appts, to dos, etc.). It'll be interesting to see what they've done. The demo'ed integration of messages, email and phone #s looks good.

Yikes! Expansys preorders. Given how long it took for me (2mths) to get my TC from Expansys when it was IN stock (35 in stock to be exact), these guys will be lucky to get it by next year!
