I wasn't able to use Vision at all this weekend due to "Sprint updating
critical systems to deliver a better experience" or some such B.S.
Now, when I use my phone to log onto Vision, I don't see the traditional
Vision homepage (listing "Entertainment", "News", "My Account" - info).
Instead, it's Google.
When I click on "Get New Games" or "Get New Applications", I also see
the same Google search page. I can go through to all my saved bookmarks
just fine, so I haven't lost the ability to connect to anything
non-SprintPCS related... but all the useful Sprint links aren't there
anymore.
Shutting down the phone and/or explicitly restarting the browser doesn't
solve things. Is anyone else seeing this problem??

Same here. I was just waiting to see if it changed.

I had the upgrade screen you mentioned above last week. Seems to be working
fine now for yours truly. Your problem might just related to your specific
market ...

only an hour or two after I sent out my posting, it appears that the PCS Vision pages are back to "normal".
At first glance, everything seems the same. I wonder if they made any
actual enhancements?

If they're lucky, none that you'd immediately notice. Enhancements
would most likely be for increased capacity and to support specific
new products & services.

As far as I know, the upgrade was for the Vision Home page, as I could still
use Vision, accessing bookmarked pages. As for any changes, there was one
listed in a previous thread under the news link, with local TV news links. I
see something new on the home page, and that is "Vegas to Moscow" Live
Webcams. When clicking on that link, it appears to be an ad for a new
$4.95/mo. application.
I haven't noticed any other changes, but in saying that, I don't usually
access many of those main links on the home page.

Well, the main website is now sporting the new Sprint logo. Looks
like Sprint is changing from red to Nextel's
heavy-construction-equipment yellow.

WTF!! I had exactly the same problem this weekend here is Southern California. When I would try to access the Sprint Home Page, I would get mobile.google.com.

I don't know about you but I just accessed the web on my Nokia VGA1000 and there
is no change in the screen access. I have heard of some virus attempts on cell phones.
Maybe you have just received a virus that now points you to the Google site? Anyone
else having this problem?

I called CS the other night when I got nothing but Google
on Vision. As usual, first level didn't have a clue about what was going on. With some difficulty, I finally
got them to transfer me to Vision tech support. That person
immediately said that "only the home page wasn't working"
(in her words). When I said that I couldn't get anything
but Google, she explained that if I used Google to search,
that I could then get to any link that Google displayed.
I appreciated the information, but I couldn't get Google
to display the link that I needed. I gave up, drove home,
and used the home computer.
