SonyEricsson has received Sprint’s entire supply of T608s, and will upload the revised firmware into them. Current projections are that the phone will ship in the middle of November.
Thanks to contributor (and Sprint employee) cruznis300 for the info.

The Phones Section has been fully integrated into the site (seeing a trend here?), Sanyo 6200 has been added and the Sanyo 4900 firmware version has been corrected.
The integration hasn’t stopped though! In the future each handset page will also be integrated into the site, instead of having to load its own page.

The Sprint PCS Phone Numbers list has been updated: Rebate Customer Service added. Also the page is now integrated into the site.

Sprint’s business site now has amazingly-detailed coverage maps that provide street-by-street coverage information and even shows upcoming towers in the detailed maps.
The system appears to use Java 2, so if you use Windows you will probably have to switch to the Sun Java VM (even Microsoft recommends this, they have discontinued development and will stop [...]

Also, the Nokia 3588i & Treo 600 have been added (though they are the versions that shipped with the [...]

Sprint has officially discontinued the Samsung A460, it is no longer sold on SprintPCS.com.
The A460 will be replaced by the Samsung A660/VI660 Vision phone.

Update: Firmware version is WI19. Firmware Tracker and A460 pages have been updated to reflect the change.
Sprint has released a new firmware update for the Samsung A460. Don’t have the version number yet, but it appears to resolve a glitch where the phone would erase the phonebook if the battery becomes too low.
