      This is a long time coming, at least it’s here. Good feelings for the CDMA Bold they’ll eventually get

      Is Sprint the last company on the planet to get 4.5 software?

      It works great when sending. Incoming MMS still comes through as a link. Others are experiencing the same and maybe that’s as good as it is going to get?

      To get docs to go you have to reconnect to desktop and goto add remove and click on docs to go to load it. Mms works now
