Question about unlocking

I am currently on Sprint and I have my HD2 preordered and will be picking it up tomorrow! I played with the phone and I am beyond impressed. I also am purchasing one of the capacitive styli to use with it since I have some specific apps at work that have rather small print that will require some finess. =)

That being said, I have one other issues that may come my way. According to the Tmobile guys, after 60 days I can call Tmobile and request an unlock code to permanently unlock the phone to use other sims. This is particular intersesting to me because work uses all AT&T and I get a pretty big discount through them. It may be worth my while to unlock the phone and switch to AT&T.

Questions are:
1) Can anyone else confirm the "after 60 day" unlock?
2) If I do unlock the phone and goto AT&T, do I still get updates/ROM info from Tmobile? I'm assuming yes?
3) I have never been on a GSM carrier. I have been on Verizon/Sprint over the last 10+ years. Is there anything good to know beyond the obvious differences at incompatibilities between CDMA and GSM carriers?
4) Would you stick with Tmobile or go AT&T later?
5) Does the TMobile HD2 have the FM radio? Is the app built in, or do I need to find an application for it?


Thanks!!!!
