Obviously no one has a 32gb card to test yet, as I've been waiting for them to be released. However, HTC's site lists SD 2.0 compatible, and that standard should technically support up to 32gb.

I personally would be surprised if it had trouble with a 32gb card, but I guess we won't know for sure until they're released.
Just call telesales people, they'll confirm the $100 MiR. I just ordered mine, and she confirmed $133 after rebate, but that price also includes delivery by noon tomorrow (Saturday).
As far as the terms and conditions read for anytime, any mobile (or whatever it's called), my understanding is that it is for "calls to", not calls from. I would really prefer that people be able to call me as well, which is what I get with in-network from Verizon, you know, the company with WAY more subscribers than Sprint.
I also looked into this whole anymobile thing that sprint came out with, and big f'n deal. I use about 2,100 minutes per month (95% during peak time), and about 600 text/pix/flix. Due to the number of people on Verizon's network, plus my 5 free numbers, I don't need anything more than the 900 minute plan.

So, my options:

Sprint - Simply Everything ($99) + Insurance ($7) = $106/mo

Verizon - 900 minutes w/ unlimited data & m2m ($99.99) + 500 text/pix/flix w/ unlimited m2m ($10) + Insurance ($7.99) = $117.98/mo

WOW, so you mean I can save less than 12 whole dollars per month if I leave one of the highest rated carriers for the lowest rated carrier??? Eh, I'll pass.
God, I am so sick of people whining about how cheap Sprint is, and how it makes up for the Verizon's TP2 price. Nobody here cares. It is publicly known that Sprint was the lowest rated carrier in virtually every category of the most recent JD Power.

The funny thing is that Sprint continues to discount their service, and they also continue to lose subscribers.
JayMonster, you're a genius. What OS upgrade hasn't Verizon allowed in the past, because I sure can't think of one. Based on the track record of your knowledge, I'm going to guess that you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.
Admit it people, Sprint has absolutely ZERO common sense. I mean, they launch the Touch Pro2 for $349.99 this morning, yet the Touch Pro is still available on their site for $299.99. Ha, that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen....other than their Pre commercials...since when is multi-tasking "revolutionary"?
I mean, everyone knows Sprint is stupid, but the fact that they're still charging $299.99 for the Touch Pro when the Touch Pro2 is available for $349.99 just takes the cake.
Of course Verizon is going to allow the 6.5 upgrade, just like they "allowed" the 6.1 upgrade on the XV6800. Does it really matter anyway? The ability to flash custom 6.5 builds will come fairly quickly after launch.
hurry the f**k up Verizon.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
