Sprint have released its second update for the Samsung Instinct, and unlike last time this looks to be a far more significant change.  Changes have been made to Sprint TV, the browser, Picture Messaging, Navigation and more, with differences including optimized YouTube playback, smoother Sprint TV/Radio and better Bluetooth headphone performance. Unlike the previous update, which was released in one go, individual applications will prompt to be upgraded when loaded.  Sprint is rolling out the changes progressively, so certain apps will offer an update while others will not; our own Instinct...

Sprint and Verizon have always been bitter rivals, engaging in price wars, coverage wars, and device wars. The two use CDMA, and both have the same technologies, and they both have the same pool of phones to choose from to carry. So when Sprint announced they would be using QChat to provide the next generation of push to talk service, it only figured Verizom would as well. Sprint will have theirs first, but they better hurry and make the market share they will need. That is because after Sprint launches QChat in 5 days, Verizon will follow in a few months. We have already seen QChat devices s...

We think it’s officially time for all major US carriers to be prohibited from using the word “Unlimited” in their data plan marketing materials. Following on the heels of Verizon and AT&T, Sprint has made the decision to cap their “Unlimited” data plan at 5GB of monthly usage. According to a leaked internal memo, the company is also going to impose a 300mb limit on off-network usage. The cap is set to go into effect on the 13th of July. The good news, however, is that this might give anyone eager to leave the carrier an ETF-free window, provided the change constitutes a “mate...
