Today Sprint has finally launched its iDEN BlackBerry 8350i, which is now available at the company's site. The latest iDEN device will make for a great purchase during this holiday season.

Speaking about Opera Mini, its latest version is also available for the Sprint's Instinct, and will serve as an alternative to the phone's sucky pre-installed Web browser. In order to run Opera Mini 4.2 on your Instinct, you should first update its firmware to version MR-4, and then install the browser.

Detailed instructions can be found on Opera Software’s website.

Here's a new live photo of the Sprint’s upcoming IDEN BlackBerry 8350i, which probably means that the phone is still coming towards the release. But before you spend your hard-earned cash on it, there are some issues that are to be considered first: crappy 2.5mm headphone jack insead of 3.5mm one, PTT (push-to-talk) button can’t be reassigned to something else, and bad signal reception.

Sprint subscribers who own a Samsung Instinct can now download and install a new firmware update from the carrier. One of the main improvements is the possibility of text input from Opera Mini and other Java applications.

In addition, with the upcoming release of Sprint Mobile Email Work update users should also be able to have better viewing support for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF documents.

Spint subscribers waitinhg the CDMA version of Palm’s Treo Pro will be able to get it in the beginning of 2009, January 11th to be precise. The date is not final, but atleast it's official, so take it into account.

We expect verizon to follow the example shortly after, though there was no word from the carrier yet.

Sprint has finally updated its rather outdated iDEN lineup with the BlackBerry 8350i, which has recently passed the FCC. The phone will be available as soon as December 1st and apparently will be targeted at office workers. Don't ask what's the price, as we don't know it.

Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5 was accidently spotted at the Sprint’s website. While this is definitely good news for many of us, note that the carrier din't even mention the handset before. And now it's listed among other phones... If you ask me, this proves that the launch is iminent, we just have to wait. We also expect the phone to have all the same specs as its GSM counterpart.

The new Sanyo Katana Eclipse X is an upgrade for the previous Katana model that has been released today on Sprint. It is available in either Hypnotic Pink or Nightlife Black, and features Sprint's One Click interactive UI that allows you to easily customize your handset’s home screen the way you like it. One can also assign different lighting schemes to incoming calls, messages, and other alerts.

Here are some nice promo shots of the new olive green Palm Centro designed for Sprint, provided by PalmInfoCenter.

The green-colored handset will be available in corporate channels for $79.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate starting November 2nd.

Great news for Sprint subscribers: the company has launched the HTC Touch Pro smartphone. It will be released on Monday at select national retailers, and starting November 2nd it will be available in all regular Sprint channels, and online.
The price for the HTC Touch Pro is US$299.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and a $25 per month monthly plan.
