HTC Touch "Diamond" to compete with iPhone?

http://www.theage.com.au/news/iphone...073222599.html

"Trailing the iPhone by a matter of weeks, the Touch Diamond will be available
on Telstra's Next G network for a stand-alone price of $999 or free on a
two-year $80-per-month plan."

Now, how is THAT going to compete with the iPhone?

Anyway, Parky, so far no announcement from Sol re: the iPhone. Perhaps this
article from the Age is it. If so, it's a bit disappointing. The HTC is just
another Windows Mobile based smartphone with all that WM brings to the
product...

It's a bit disappointing but for me it's probably a moot point. My wife has gone
down the N95 path with Optus and I just got the Motorola V9 yesterday (new
contract with Telstra/NextG).
