Bluetooth Phone Reportedly Available From Sprint PCS
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 07:00 PM
Yes, you heard me right -- a CDMA carrier has actually made a BT phone available, due to tremendous pressure from the community. Sprint PCS Info (linked above) has the full information: it's the Sony Ericsson T608. Apparently, it's only a limited release and can only be ordered over-the-phone from Sprint. I don't know anyone who has it (availability started today), so I don't know how well the Bluetooth works -- I'm sure we'll hear about it here and other places as well in the next few days. I'm also not 100% sure how the 1xRTT plan pricing will work -- apparently, the service will be free for the first three months and then 3MB for $15/month.
Once again, kudos to you guys who kept on pressuring Sprint to release this device. :way to go: I don't know if that's what ultimately made up their mind, but it certainly couldn't have hurt it. Let's hope Sprint notices the demand for the device and encourages more BT phones for their network. If anyone gets the device, let us know how it works.
