Mark, I believe the ability has been there for 30 voice activated phone
entries all along. You might be confusing the number of voice activated
entries to the number of speed dials you can set up on the phone.

Well, per the following site -
http://www.sprintpcsinfo.com/modul [...] page&pid=9 ,
you definitely have earlier versions. The firmware / software version is
now 1.059 SP, and the most recent PRL is 10023.

You can upgrade your PRL via OTA (over the air), just by calling *2, while
you have a strong signal. If the automatic upgrade doesn't take place, just
say "PRL" on the voice prompt, and when a cust. svc. rep comes on the line,
ask them to flag your phone number. Within 10-30 minutes or so, you can call
back to *2 and the upgrade will start. Takes about a minute, and once it's
been completed, the phone will reboot.

As for the firmware/software upgrade, that has to be accomplished at your
local SPCS store.
