At a promo party given by the local Cell One this weekend I had a chance to see the new DiamondTel (sp?) Model 99X handheld. It seemed to be a very nice 10.5 ounce handheld that looks like a miniturized version of their previous handheld (I think 90X). Personally, all desires for a Motorola flip phone flew away (I currently have an NEC P9100). It also seemed to have all those features that I missed in other phones such as display of current SID, control channel, SAT code, etc. -- listed right in the instruction manual! The promo price was $799 -- regularly $999. By the time I had gotten there, however, the battery was dead and I had no chance to actually play with it. Does anyone have any direct experience with it? It seems like my dream phone. The model that Cell One had on display was sold and they expected more in about a month, so it will be a while before I get to play. Craig R.
