It’s not a phone, but for phone users on-the-go, it’s essential. Read More…

Update: Sprint appears to have renewed their SSP license (or switched to a different one they already had purchased), and have also removed the SSP logo from the portions of the site it was inserted on.
In a bit of an embarrassment to Sprint’s web team, they have started to bolster the VeriSign logo on their [...]

Nokia yesterday announced their new Nseries line of extremely high-end Series 60 phones. The highest end of this class announced, the N91, will include a 4 GB hard drive, and will support UMTS (as well as EDGE, making Nseries the first U.S. phones to support both UMTS and EDGE). The announcement of the Nseries is [...]

Update: Sources are reporting the MM-535 will only see a limited release. It will not be offered in-stores, however, corporate stores will be provided with a drop-ship option to allow interested customers to order the phone in-store and have it delivered to them.
Sprint has released the LG MM-535. The device suffered from significant production and [...]

Update: Now also for sale online from Sprint.
The Sanyo VI-2300 has started to trickle to stores. While not yet available online, you can check out Sanyo’s VI-2300 Product Page.
And yes, despite the VI prefix, the device does support ReadyLink…

The Sanyo MM-8300 (which, SPI broke the news of its existance) will be a minor revision building on the highly-popular PM-8200. The most significant additions will be a video camera, MIDP 2.0, and Sprint TV.

Update: MobiTV is actually serving Fox News, alongside Sprint TV’s other channel offerings (which are already provided by MobiTV). This begs the question as to why MobiTV does not also offer the channel, but, MobiTV has a long-standing position to not respond to our inquiries.
Sprint consistently refused to answer our requests as to if Sprint [...]

Samsung has released the Chinese version of the i550, the SCH-i539. This appears to point towards that Sprint simply lost interest in the device, or that the device missed internal timeframes rather than a product-wide defect. Sprint has not issued any comment as to why the i550 was discontinued, and denied they ever announced it [...]

Update 2: Well folks, while the update appears to be successful, it doesn’t work. We couldn’t tell when we made the update, because we simply didn’t know where EV-DO was available to test the update. Meaning, that while the update does work, and shows the PPC-6600 supports EV-DO (by accepting an EV-DO PRL properly), it [...]

Update: Inital reports have been incorrect, PRL 10027 has not been released. Instead, PRL 20007 was released for EV-DO only devices. What is more troubling is that Sprint has informed some technicians not to install this PRL on the PPC-6600 Series.
Some have even gone as far as to report that the PPC-6600 will never be [...]
