[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
Hello Everyone,

My first post here after weeks of reading on this wonderful site.

I live in Florida, USA and going to purchase my first Smartphone with Windows Mobile. From all the reading I have done, a Unlocked HTC HD2 Leo is my choice. Have a few questions if I may ask. Very new to advanced phone technology so please excuse my ignorance.

T-Mobile USA with 3G(available in my area)

If I am correct, T-Mobile USA uses GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900. UMTS 1700, UMTS 2100. GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA.

A) I have 1 sim card for my 8700G Blackberry(non-3G) with unlimited web/e-mail

B) I have 1 sim card for my Sony Ericsson GC-89(non-3G) with unlimited web/e-mail for notebook

Questions:

1) May I take one of the sim cards from A or B, place it in my new unlocked HTC HD2 Leo, and begin to use it?

2) If I use the sim card from A, will I be able to receive the email I get on my blackberry?

UMTS 1700, UMTS 2100 Questions:

A) Are set by the .ROM?

B) Are set the hardware?

C) Could a person get a unlocked UK version with UMTS 900, UMTS 2100, Flash the .ROM, to obtain UMTS 1700, UMTS 2100?

D) Does the HTC HD2 Leo support HSUPA+?

Battery / Charger / Battery Life

A) Does the HTC HD2 Leo have circuitry to protect over-charging of the battery if left plugged in all night?

B) Is it best to fully discharge the battery before charging again?

C) Is it best to "trickle" charge the battery with 500mA USB rather than 1A A/C outlet adapter?

Remote Desktop Mobile

A) If I connect my notebook (winxp pro) to the wi/fi AP of the HTC HD2, may I use Remote Destop Mobile to access my notebook?

External Monitor

A) With the HTC HD2 Leo, Are you able to connect an external monitor?

Goals, Ideas, Consolidation, Personal

The company I work for provides me with:

A) Nextel / Sprint telephone for customers to call, use of Direct Connect with co-workers and dispatch. Stuck with it. :(

B) Blackberry 8700G to receive dispatched jobs(via blackberry e-mail) from remote dispatch center.

C) Sony Ericsson GC-89 air card for mobile internet on notebook for e-mail(outlook) and run disptach software for completing jobs/editing jobs.

Notebook is my personal

So I thought get a HTC HD2 Leo to:

1) Consolidate electronic devices.

2) Upgrade to 3G mobile internet because my blackberry and GC-89 card do not support it, too old.

3) Not be tethered to my notebook if I can remotely access it.(all work/personal software and data on it)

4) Use HTC HD2 to receive the e-mailed jobs.(eliminate the blackberry,put in drawer) :D

5) Possibly put dispatch software/work software on HTC HD2 Leo if mobile versions available.

6) Turn off work phone on days off.(do not have home telephone)

7) Use sim cards provided by company, no costs to me, no need for home internet.

8) Use HTC HD2 for personal e-mails,calls,web surfing,contacts,GPS,etc while not at a job or days off with a top of the line personal smartphone with company provided sim card.

9) Use Ballistics software for long range rifle accuracy at the range or in the field hunting/camping. Intergrated with weather,gps,maps,etc.

10) Use Skype for my international friends to call me while not at my computers or messenger applications.

11) Learn more about the future technology/software of powerful smartphones and progress in ways to make life better. Longer I have it, more ways I will learn to use it.

12) Become addicted to xda-developers forums and take my tech-geek personality to another level. :D

Want to thank everyone that replies in advance. All comments,suggestions, further ideas are welcomed and appreciated.

Thank you,

Monnie
