Yeah 32 million seems really high, but they've had incredible success so 
far. Unfortunately I'm not willing to spend $700 on a phone, no matter 
how awesome it'll be, so I'll wait until it gets carrier subsidized or 
comes down in price post-launch. I did chip in 20 bucks though, it's a 
great way to help that doesn't break the bank.
