The whole more surprises closer to launch thing

[CEaton]

Ok during the launch party, the speaker said they are holding back some surprises that will be revealed closer to launch, what you guys thinking?

I'm thinking they will be throwing in a MicroSD card, either 16 or 32gb. I find it really strange that a phone of this caliber will be shipping with just 1gb of storage on board. And they really haven't been publicizing anything about storage on this device. With HD playback and HDMI, we really need storage.

Your thoughts?

Oh and thanks for having me, signed up today after I pre-ordered my Evo, current Palm Pre owner on sprint.

Supposedly it comes with an 8gb card...

I've heard that they already are including an 8GB MicroSD card in the phone...

Oh, then maybe I am mistaken, I hadn't read that, mind pointing me in the right direction?

And doesn't 8gb sound pretty weak these days?


EDIT: Oops, it's right here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/12276-htc-evo-fact-sheet.html

Still I would have expected a 16gb card?

Flash support. There was a glimpse of it in the demo for simultaneous voice and data, where one of the execs looks at a web page on the Evo with Flash content and says something like! "Oh, looks like we've got the real Internet." They probably can't announce it until Google IO.

this made me lol even if it is off topic.

No idea what the "surprises" may be, but I'm guessing it's something that has to wait for Google I/O.

Flash is not a surprise. They showed flash and "the real internet" when they first showed the phone at CTIA. Remember, they did the search using the picture of the Eiffel Tower and went to the official website, and then commented on all the flash (which looked pretty awesome).
