Sprint Products

We always will try to carry a "free phone" at About Wireless.  What free means in this case is that the phone is free with a new 2 year activation.  The phone also may be free for upgrading your current Sprint phone under certain circumstances (often a 2 year upgrade wait).  Ask if we have a selection.  We sometimes do.

A low priced phone from a quality manufacturer - and it includes Bluetooth!

A low priced phone from Samsung, yet a camera and bluetooth capability.

The new Sanyo Katana - with camera, bluetooth and fine Sanyo name.  Comes in a few colors including pink as well as black.

For those that love text, or want to learn to love text.  This low priced phone from Samsung has a full pull out QWERTY (normal typewriter kind of keyboard) keyboard.  Rumors are going fast and are hot hot hot!  They come in white and black,  Although ... there is a rumor (pun intended) that it will also be available in green soon.

Samsung has taken a popular high level phone, the 510 and converted it into a great slider phone with the new 520.  Power!  Camera, Bluetooth, Music, And capable of high speed data for use as a modem or for Sprint TV>

LG follows its very highly popular Fusic phone with the Musiq - an upgrade to a phone most everyone we know loved as a full feature phone.  Again it is full boat features - bluetooth, camera, music, and high speed data and tv capable.

Sanyo has added to their popular Katana line with a new giant - the full featured Katana Deluxe!  Here full features meets the highly sought Sanyo brand name with of course bluetooth, camera, music, and high speed data and tv capable.

We cannot tell a lie, the Motorola PDA is not as powerful as some other PDAs as done by Blackberry or perhaps Palm.  But for many of us, including me, the person writing this, it is just what we need.  It adds email and windows capability to a high end phone.  So, use it like a phone and use its bluetooth, camera and high speed data capabilities or use it as a PDA with windows email capability.  The Q9c adds Sprint TV capability and GPS driving help possibilities onto the previous Motorola Q.

The very popular Blackberry business line of PDAs made by Research in Motion (RIM) comes out with a so called "civilian" model.   A housebroken blackberry for those conscious of style and small size.  The Pearl is a high end PDA however in the true Blackberry tradition - which of course means email and syncing email, contacts, tasks and calendars to your computer.

The business blackberry PDA to end all PDAs.  This phone I call the CEO phone.  It is all business.  In the US it is high speed Sprint Data and voice for the fastest email on the streets and fastest data transfers.  When traveling however in Europe or in some places in Asia it switches to GSM cellular - the cellular language of Europe and parts of Asia.  But there's more - it also does GPRS.  Huh?  You ask?  When in Europe or other GSM locations, GPRS is the data system.  So data usage can also continue while traveling.  No camera, but just a serious accent on serious business.

While the Blackberries above are indeed impressive, as many of you know, PDAs can have different tastes.  For those who prefer the Palm operating system, there is the new Palm Centro - which is so so popular among previous Palm Owners and new ones who like what they see.  Much power in a PDA.  Email of course and data syncing to your computer.

Sprint is really a later generation digital than most other carriers.  It uses CDMA - a cellular technique that is higher bandwidth than most other cellular companies.  With that some Sprint phones can do Sprint TV.  What can it's cards do for your laptop - high speed data.  Higher speed than you can get with carriers that do not have CDMA.  The data system is called EVDO.  What it means is "fast data".

The card shown here is the Novatel Wireless S720 pcmcia card that can slide into a laptop.  We also carry the USB version for greater utility, which can be made by either Novatel Wireless or Sierra Wireless - two fine data companies.  These two companies pioneered cellular data in the US for laptops and continue to bring innovation to this important field.  Both are fine companies.
