…well, at least in certain sense of the word. A report generated by a Sprint-branded Treo 800w has shown up on DSLReports.com. The speed test reveals a couple of interesting tidbits about the upcoming handset. The phone will be running Internet Explorer 7.1, a much needed overhaul to the company’s current mobile browser. We’re assuming […]

Like we told you yesterday, the BlackBerry Curve has finally made it’s way to Sprint. The device can be ordered online and through telesales, though we’re not exactly sure when the handset will begin showing up in Sprint stores. You have to admit that $179.99 price is attractive. But, it must irk all you CDMA […]
We’ve got a ton of tips over the past couple days surrounding the BlackBerry Curve’s debut on Sprint. Most if not all of those pointed to an official May 9th release date. Here’s a flyer detailing the release date, handset pricing, and specs. The no contract price of the Curve is $599.99! Don’t get too […]

This one will stay firmly in the rumor pile for the time being, but a report out of Germany points to an impending T-Mobile takeover of Sprint Wireless. On the surface, the move would make sense. T-Mobile has struggled to gain traction against its bigger competitors, with a sub-par coverage footprint and device selection that […]

Likely resulting from a combination of outdated technology and plain lack of interest, Sprint is pulling the plug on its Voice Command service. Voice Command affords users a web-based address book that provides an alternative means for placing voice calls to contacts. Tapping a few buttons to initiate a call from your address book can […]

Remember that spy shot of a new anonymous HTC device? Things are getting a bit more clear. It turns out that the device in question is actually the HTC Raphael, apparently designed to be the replacement for the current generation HTC Mogul. The handset sports a slide-out QWERTY keypad that looks to be a bit […]

Yeah, this one sounds pretty strange to us as well. Apparently Sprint’s new CEO, Dan Hesse, let slip at his CTIA 2008 keynote that Nextel would be the recipient of a Wi-Fi-equipped BlackBerry by the end of this year. Last we heard, the only BlackBerry available on the ailing iDEN network was the veritably ancient […]

Sprint and Samsung have partnered to release the Samsung Insight, an all-touchscreen affair that aims directly at Apple’s venerable iPhone. While it’s certainly not going to take down the iPhone, the Insight looks to pack a powerful punch in its own right. The Insight sports a number of high-end features, including GPS with TeleNav support, […]

Thought the Centro was a non-starter, due to its middle of the road feature set and uninspired styling? Think again. Palm has just announced that they have sold 1 million of the little buggers. Citing the accessible $99 price point, the Palm press release goes on to tout the handset’s mass appeal, especially to customers […]

As you may remember, almost one year ago, we broke news of the BlackBerry Curve 8330. Granted, some facts have since been corrected (not a World Edition device), but it’s been a rather long wait for CDMA customers wanting a BlackBerry Curve device. Recent news posted on BGR has shown pictures of the Sprint release, as well as a launch […]

I’m going to keep this pretty short just because the unit is like, uh, almost identical to the GSM one we tore apart and reviewed a little while back. The HTC Shift is coming stateside, as you all know by now. It’s going to be available starting today, and is a Sprint unit. So besides […]

There you have it folks. Brightpoint is scheduled to receive the Sprint variant of the BlackBerry Curve 8330 on April 16th and it will become available via other channels on the 20th. We can also firm up the fact that it will be packing GPS, OS 4.3, 2.0 megapixel camera, video recording and voice notes. […]

With financial ruin staring them down the barrel, sprint is really pulling out all of the stops. The next revolution? A "real" web-browser for it’s entire line of internet-capable handsets. Sounds interesting. The company has just announced that they will be providing a "desktop-like" browsing experience for "virtually all" of its handsets. We certainly question […]
