Re: Is this the best phone for going international?

Thanks for all the help guys. To answer some questions...

I don't use an international PREPAID sim....I have a plan with Vodaphone for when I'm overseas. I work in london once every two months for about a month at a time, so using prepaid service for international calling isn't an option I'd be spending way too much money if I did it that way.

To the guy who said he was calling to and from mexico a lot....from being a former Sprint employee, I can say that those prices seem a little high. I know Sprint offers an option (I'm pretty sure they still do, I haven't worked for them in a few years) where it's $5 a month on your plan and having that option basically cuts what you pay for international roaming and calls in half. Mexico should only be like .50 to .60 cents a minute, it also depends on where you're calling, some areas are cheaper.



The thing is I'd love to just pick up the TP2. But the Leo (HD2) is going to be one of the best phones out there. The only thing I'd be worried about as far as how much I like using it is the lack of a slide out Qwerty. After using the Diamond I really missed my keyboard after a while, especially on such a tiny screen where typing e-mails is a chore every time. But with a bigger screen it might not be as bad. I think I'm going to pick up the TP2 soon and if I find that it's too slow or that I'm just not using the Qwerty because I don't need to then I'll grab the Leo.
