HTC Imagio (Verizon)

I was wondering what family the Verizon/HTC Imagio would fall under? Is it a version of the Touch Diamond 2? It seems closest to that; but the ATT version (the Pure) has a smaller screen. I'm asking because a friend asked me about the phone and I don't know much about it and don't see much on BH on it (not much on Verizon versions of HTC's at all, in fact).

The Imagio is actually a successor to the HTC Touch HD. The original HD had the code-name Blackstone and the Imagio has the code-name Whitestone. HTC isn't emphasizing this though, because someone at the company apparently took repeated blows to the head and reduced the screen size in the Imagio. That's what the Leo/HD2 has taken over the role of successor.

Don't get me wrong, the Imagio looks like a decent device to me, and I'll have Adama Brown's review of it up soon.
