I just bought my wife a Tungsten E PDA.  It has an option for SMS through
mobile phones.  I didn't see any current Sprint models listed in the list of
phones to select as a modem.  I saw Infrared connections, Bluetooth
connections and cable connections.

Received replacement phone from sprint... they programed with wrong phone
number... took back and waited in long line for 2 f**# hours! They
programmed correnct phone number and said everything was set up, including
internet, but would take 2 hours to take effect. WRONG!

if i go buy a phone tonight, can i put the battery in and turn it on and
check to see if the software is up-to-date, without harming the battery?
because otherwise i'd have to fully charge the battery and then drain it or
whatever the process is, and then i'd have to go back later ...

I own a Sanyo 4900 and I like it very much,however,I only need a phone that
is only a phone.
Don't need Email, Voice services, Calendars, Downloads, and  Web......Can

I signed up with my company so I got a discount, I signed a 2yr
contract.
Then when that was over, I resigned for a 1 year contract.

is it safe to remove the sticker on the back of the phone that shows the

Every time I get a text message, I can't make a call because my phone says
I'm in data mode. I called Sprint and they had no idea what I was talking
about (I can't blame them, they're just phone jockey morons). Is this a
known issue? My phone is a Samsung camera phone(VGA100 maybe, ...

I think that it was Bob who suggested SnapMedia from FutureDial to
transfer pictures from a Sanyo 5300 back to a PC.  Unfortunately,
SnapMedia only does this with the Sanyo 8100.  The 5300 does things a
bit differently and FutureDial's tech support said so in an email to

I have a weekend house just on the fringes of Sprint PCS coverage in CT.  My
phone is set to PCS only, no roaming. When I turn my 8500 on, it will search
for coverage, and then the usual "Sprint PCS" message will display.  I get
somewhere from 1 to 4 bars of signal strength.  If I ...

How does sprint determine what the waranty replacement time frame is
on a phone. If say, bought a newly introduced phone on ebay, obviously
phoneis less than a year old but, if not bought directly from sprint,
what happens?

when 'true SMS' is released, does this mean that i can send and receive text
messages without having to use the internet/vision, etc.? it will just
appear on my phone and i can type/send a reply?
also, and more importantly, does this work with other services, like

With Voicestream 2 years ago, I was able to input my phone book
entries online then transfer them to my phone.  I just got the VI660.
Is it possible to do with Sprint?

My plan still has wireless web and my new phone has vision.  I don't want
vision - I just want the wireless web I always had.  I set the modem up for
use with wireless web (#2932, username/password Web) but it doesn't connect.
Suggestions or comments?

I have to say that I am very happy with Sprint.... so what if CS is
slower the signal is a lot stronger, no dropped calls in my area and
if I need answers I just email Sprint and within 24 hours I have an
answer
