Though the Sprint version is the most well-scooped CDMA variant thus far, Telus is actually becoming the first carrier ’round these parts to announce the Touch Diamond imbued with a little EV-DO for your data-consumption pleasure. The phone will run $149.99 CAD (which is just about a wash in US dollars) on a three-year contract, accompanied by Dat. plans ranging from $15 for email and instant messaging to $30 for email, IM, and web browsing. Sprint, Verizon, we anxiously await your press releases.

Without much ado, the HTC Raphael, at this time called the T-Mobile MDA Vario IV in Europe, will hit streets sometime in Q2 2008. Concerning specs, we’re looking at 158 grams, 300 minutes of talk time, 480×640 pixel screen, tri-band GSM, a 528MHz processor, 256MB on-board RAM, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, FM radio, and a 3.2MP camera. Don’t expect a stateside release — at least in this incarnation — given the tri-band action, so we’ll continue to hold out for the Sprint version.
