My wife's Sanyo 8100 with fw 1.116SP and PRL 10025 received this evening
the message listed below. She chose not to click on it. Does anyone
know what it means, or what will be downloaded if she clicks on it?
The URL appears to really be from Sprint. She did not order any product
for her phone (as far as as she knows). She has a Vision Picture Pack
(and uses it) and we're on a F&FAF plan. Is this a typical message if
one does order a game or ringer or screensaver from Sprint (I haven't
ever done that)?

From its few words, it doesn't look like it's related to Sprint's
announcement of its new ability to do OTA firmware updates, and her 8100
doesn't support that. http://www.phonescoop.com/news/item.php?n=1055
