Why don't you buy a sprint touch pro at retail price and then port it over to verizon. I know this still doesn't fix the issue with the data plan, but at least you get more ram and you can wait for your company to pay for it (if thats the case). Either way you fix the gps lock issue. I'm guessing that if you can wait and use it with your company's plan you won't have to add the data plan, since your company won't approve it...

EDIT: Oh wow, I see you have an issue with them approving the phone to your company's account. Sorry bout that, I don't know how you could deal with that.
