multimedia question

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

I don't think my phone, VGA1000, can handle multimedia, but I might change
phones later. My contract with Sprint doesn't end until May, 2006, but I
can get $150 rebate & a new phone in Nov, 2005.

I was just exploring the multimedia and have a couple of questions.
-just to make sure, will the VGA1000 handle multimedia. I couldn't find
this option anywhere.
-if I get a multimedia phone later, is the multimedia option part of the
standard Vision package that I now have ($15/mo)? Or is it optional at
extra cost?
-if I later acquire a Readylink phone, is Readylink part of the standard
Vision package?

I have had Sprint for about a year, and for the most part, I like the Sprint
service. They aren't perfect, but none are. I will probably stay with
them. My wife has Treo 600 and she likes it a lot.

yep, i knew about the picture taking and all, but i was curious about live
TV on the phone. That might be nice.

but i have never downloaded anything, ringtones, etc. Do I have a $10
credit every months for downloads?

BTW, what kind of Java applications are available?

we have $15 Vision because my wife uses Treo for business purposes. The $15
package includes unlimited picture sharing; also 100 messages/month.

There is no multimedia option, per se... I speak from experience, having
just
bought a VGA1000 (finally!)

Multimedia, however, entails many things. You can take and share photos with
the built-in camera (that's multimedia); you can download ringtones and
wallpaper (that too), and you can download Vision-compatible Java
applications
and games.

Now that I have a camera phone, I'm curious about this too. Does the $15
package include sharing pictures and sending MMS? What about if I pay the
$10
for unlimited Vision without the download credits?

No. (I knew the answer to this one ;> )

Yeah, the Treo's a neat little gadget, but PDA phones are expensive - and I
cart around my laptop quite a bit and therefore don't need another device
that
runs Microsoft Outlook.
