Sprint FAQ

Unbelievably bad voice quality. Every single person, without exception, said the same thing; I’m fading in and out. Some Palm Treo 800w accessories that I would recommend is a cell phone antenna. Sometimes they can hear me, sometimes they cant. Sprint told me it was the people I was talking to!!!!! What?! Nice huh? Oh and here’s the clincher…if I just exchange if for the same phone and it does the same thing…I’m done. Period. That was my 30 day exchange and I can’t get anymore even if its the phone. So, not knowing if I got a bad phone, or if it’s a bad design, I’m not taking my chances. I’m getting a Curve. Also - Sprint can’t transfer numbers yet, still too new. Great service huh? You would think that these two dying companies; Sprint and Palm, would have collaborated a little better on training, service, and customer satisfaction.

Here, I will provide information, deals and news on Sprint-Nextel. As always, buy Sprint Accessories at Accessorygeeks.com.

Numbers are out. During quater 1 of 2007, Sprint adds 568,000 new users in their network. At 568,000 addition, they ranked 3rd as national carrier with positive addition to their subcriber.
Ok then, who is losing ground?
Same company who added 568,000 people to their service, lost 220,000 of Nextel iden customers. Nextel iden customers are leaving nextel left and right. Sprint now has about 41.6milliong customers, 24.7 mil on Sprint, and 16.5 on Nextel. Pretty soon Nextel might not exist. (source RCR news). As always, buy Sprint Accessories at Accessorygeeks.com.

In a move to better the relationship with it’s customers Sprint/Nextel has announced that it will be launching a web based forum to get in touch with their customers and potential customers. Sprint forum, which can be found at http://www.buzzaboutwireless.com/ , gives users the chance to communicate and at times vent out at Sprint. It’s no secret that customer services isn’t their pitch when trying to get customers in and I have had my fair share of issues with Sprint when trying to resolve an issue.
This is forum is a step in the right direction for Sprint, but it’ll take some time to see if they do monitor the forums or if they just let other Sprint members answer each others questions. Only time will tell if this will either harm Sprint or help Sprint. Don’t forget to stop by AccessoryGeeks.com for all your cell phone needs.

In a move to gain more consumer interest in Sprint, Sprint has announced that it will be teaming up with Pandora Media to allow Sprint users to utilize a free Internet based radio service. What this service will do is allow Sprint users to listen to their favorite musician or type of music through their mobile phones via an online radio service (Pandora), similar to XM radio but for mobile phones. The integration of Pandora will be seamless with the online version of Pandora being implemented and it will allow all users of the service to store up to 100 stations to their accounts.

The service is available on five Sprint Power Vision phones: The LG fusic, Samsung A900, Samsung A920, and the 7500 and 8400 offered by Sanyo. Sprint predicts that by the end of June, the Pandora service will be available on all Spint Vision phones. The service will be available for about $2.99 per month with the Power Vision Data plan. Please also check AccessoryGeeks.com for headsets that will utilize the full experience of the Pandora Mobile Radio service.

The Treo 755p is now available for Sprint and as everyone has expected it doesn’t introduce anything new to the already dated Palm os. The Treo 755p sure does look a “tad” different from its predessors such as the 650 and 700 but by no means does it offer anything innovative. The keyboard has remained a problem for many of us use to the full qwerty offered by Blackberry or even T-mobile and the overall os of the palm hasn’t changed for better or worse.

The Treo 755p comes with the dated miniSd memory card setup and utilizes a camera that offers users little to no options besides the ability to adjust the zoom. The only upside to this phone is that it does come with fatastic plastic covers available at AccessoryGeeks.com but other then that not much has changed about the phone to make current Palm users want to upgrade or new users to even want to pick one up when they have innovative Blackberries to choose from. If I had to make a suggestion I would say to switch platforms and hope on either Blackberry or Windows mobile phones since Palm is doing so little to compete. Hope this helps you decide to not get this phone.

The update to the ever so popular PPC-6700 has been announced as the Sprint PPC-6800, also known as the HTC MOGUL. The new device that is being launched can be compared to the older 6700 minus the external antenna and with better edges, I would even go as far as to say this phone is really similar to the T-Mobile MDA and Wing in the way that the keyboard is presented. The PPC-6800 will play host to a good amount features and upgrades including a 2.0 megapixel camera, Windows mobile 6 os, a ROM increase to 256 MB and the PPC-6800 will be the first phone to support Sprint Music store and the newly updated broadband REV.A in Fall of 2007. The phone itself looks great and promising and it really looks like Sprint is stepping up their game when it comes to mobile phones. Please check back at AccessoryGeeks.com for accessories when the phone is released mid June.

Sprint has announced plans to launch a Red Samsung UpStage which should please the very few of us that like to have a flashy phone. The UpStage was already an eye-catcher at first, being that it is double sided, but now with the addition of the eye catching red color scheme, it seems as if this phone will be hard to miss. The overall quality of the phone will stay the same and I assume that the features will also remain unchanged. Sprint seems to be releasing this phone for the individuals who might have been waiting for more of an option towards color with the original black UpStage. Anyhow, to wrap it all up in this nice little red casing is making this the red corvette convertible of the Samsung UpStage family.

The cellular industry is full of mergers and companies buying each other out and we’ve come to accept that as an everyday part of life. Sprint’s purchase of Nextel has recently taken new light as it seems as though Sprint has cut it’s ties with marketing Nextel with its service. If you go to sprint.com you’ll notice that the “together with Nextel” is nowhere to be found, even worst is that Nextel no longer has a domain to itself. It seems as though Nextel has faded away in the huge over casting shadow known as Sprint. I personally will miss Nextel since it has provided me with years of great service but as we all know, in this cut throat business of cellular phones and carriers you can be here today and gone tomorrow in a heartbeat.
