Frequently asked questions
Should Diamond 5 be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.

Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
