Default Just got my HD2 - Tmobile US... Couple of questions

This phone comes with a bunch of stuff that i dont need... transformer movie, barnes and noble reader... blockbuster crap. i have no need for that. Is there a way to get rid of all that pre packed stuff... Kinda reminds me of when i bought my laptop from Best Buy. All these trial software programs just take up space.

Also. I'm thinking of going with an official HTC rom. is this the correct page to do it from? http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNew...04&news_id=434. if i do, do that... where can i find the official TMobile US ROM just in case if i decide to bring it back.

Another question... This one is mainly for Tmobile representatives. I was originally under a month to month contract without my social. In order to get the discount for the phone. i had to put the phone under my social. i didnt realize at the time but on my way back i noticed that i now have two lines... different accounts. i want my old phone number "the one without the social" to be my regular number. not the other one. how should i go about doing that?

thanks in advance for any help with all of my questions

Well...You can't flash yet. HSPL has not been released for T-Mobile branded HD2s so you have to wait.

They are working on it so, once its released you can flash any rom you want.
Epic 4G Touch
Motorola Xoom 4G

A quick question

I would assume current customized ROMs are for European model, which has 512 Mb ROM. These ROMs will also be compatible with t mobile hd2, which has 1G ROM ??

thanks

If you truly did format your sd card, then it should be wiped clean. whatever remnants that you still see on your phone are just shortcuts.
