While Sprint and Verizon still haven’t officially nailed down an exact release date for their incarnations of HTC’s desirable Touch Diamond, Telus isn’t keeping its customers (or potential ones) in the dark any longer, with it now announcing that the handset will be available on August 14th. Prices will start at just $150 on a three-year contract, and jump to $350 on a two-year one, $400 on a one-year deal, and a full $450 if you don’t want any strings attached at all. You can also expect to pay $15 a month for a basic email and IM plan, or $30 for email, web browsing and IM — on top of your usual voice plan, of course.
