Here is a crazy thought and I know its crazy question but I gotta ask... When the hd2 comes to t-mble it will be gsm and that means it wont work on sprint or verizion because they are both cdma carriers... here is my question.

My tp2 from sprint has a sim card in it... It wouldn't be possible to take my sprint sim card out of my touch pro 2 and put it in a t-mble HD2 would it?

No it won't work, I had that same question. I did some research on my own and asked some very knowledgeable sprint people over on sprintusers.com. The SIM card that comes with the TP2 is exclusive to the phone it came with. Even if you put the SIM card in another Sprint TP2 it will not work. The SIM card only works to provide you service when traveling overseas where CDMA is not available; it isn't the same type of SIM card as T-mo and AT&T. Look at the TP2 User's Guide that is online on the Sprint website and it will give you more info as to the function of the SIM card.

Well it looks like the HTC HD2 will be exclusive to T-Mobile and for all other carrier customers these could be bad news.

It looks like T-Mobile has stated that the HD2 will be exclusive to them.

i never said it was exclusive to tmble.... Even if it is exclusive to tmble... is it possible that it could come to other carriers under a diff name? like the HTC Touch pro 2 did on sprint but it was called the tilt 2 on att? or am i stretching too far?
