Re: [Sprint] Power vision streaming time limit?
off topic, but, how is it? mainly, how is browsing and the data speed? they just gave me a free phone and plan (unlimited) for six months, as some kind of program to encourage word of mouth online, presumably -- I'll get it in a couple of weeks. |

1 edit | I'll throw in my opinion, even though I sell these... Speeds for me have generally been between 400 and 700, sometimes testing at 200 and 1200. Latency is high, like most wireless, but browsing speed still seems quite good. Another benefit is that Sprint phones can run java midp applications programmed by anyone, which seems superior to the brew java that, for example, Verizon uses. One of my favorite applications is Opera Mini, which works great on my phone. A version customized for Sprint can be downloaded by pointing the phone browser at mini.opera.com/sprint. Another crucial application is google local, at google.com/glm. It functions just like Google Maps, but on a phone screen (satellite view and all). This post was typed on my Samsung 940. |

Missed this post...
I haven't tethered by phone for mobile Inet, but the general service through the phone is really nice. Speed is much "snappier" than the regular Vision service. The browsing is what someone who is use to BB comes to expect. Near instant page loads. I'm using Mini Opera as well, and it is welcome change from the included browser.
In all, I like the service.
