Sprint now offers two new phones from Sanyo called Pro-200 and Pro-700, which support the carrier's Push-to-talk over cellular technology.

Apart from that the two handsets also support Qualcomm’s QChat technology, Group Connect, and remote contact information management via the Sprint Mobile Sync online tool.

• The Sanyo Pro-200 has a slimmer silver-coated body and costs $49.

The new RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 smartphone will be available this month for Sprint subscribers.

Just to remind you, the device features a 2Mpixl camera, media player, 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth, microSD/SDHC card slot, voice-activated dialing, voice notes recorder and the ability to be used as a modem with a laptop.

Unfortunately, we don't have pricing details at the moment.

Sprint has named the LG Rumor its official cell phone for St. Patrick’s Day, and added a new color to the handset.

Thus, currently available color options include white with silver, black with blue, and green - the new one. Besides that nothing else has changed. The phone still features a 1.3Mpix camera, microSD card slot (up to 4GB), Bluetooth connectivity, and integrated GPS.

Sprint announced the availability of a software update for the HTC Mogul that will add support for the carrier's EV-DO Rev.A network.

This means that data speeds will be much faster than before. Download speeds will rise to 600-1,400 kbps, and upload will boost to 350-500 kbps. Almost like HSDPA, don't you agree?

Previously HTC Mogul used the slow EV-DO Rev.

Thanks to wirefly.com, new Sprint subscribers who sign a 2-year contract can now get an Onyx Black Palm Centro absolutely free.

That means no shipping charges, no rebates to deal with, no minimum plan requirements, simply free.

We know Palm Centro is far not the best smartphone available; still it's a nice handset to get when you don't have to pay for it.

Sprint has recently launched a new free service that will help those hard of hearing participate in phone conversations more easily.

It is called WebCapTel and is compatible with any landline or cell phone. The service converts voice captions into text and displays them in real-time in a web browser, so the user will be able to actually see what the interlocutor says.

Sprint offers another unlimited plan that some of you could find interesting.

It costs $89.99 a month, it includes unlimited voice, messaging and direct connect, but doesn't include data, Sprint TV and GPS services.

If you're not interested in web surfing and digital TV, then this is a perfect plan for you, otherwise choose the $99 Simply Everything plan and enjoy the unlimited extras.

Sprint has launched its "Simply Everything" plan for all CDMA and iDEN customers.

The new plan offers unlimited voice, data, SMS, email, Web, Sprint TV, Sprint Music, GPS navigation, DirectConnect and Group Connect for just $99 per month.

If you're interested, contact your local customer service.

Sprint has launched two Samsung phones, the Samsung ACE and the M520.

• The first one is a windows Mobile 6 based smartphone with a full QWERTY-keyboard. It features EV-DO connectivity, stereo Bluetooth, 1.3Mpix camera, microSD slot, and a SIM card slot for GSM cards.
  The handset costs $199.99 with a 2-year agreement.

Sprint Palm Treo 755p owners will be glad to hear that there's a new firmware update available for their buggy handset. Reportedly, the new ROM v1.07 should improve "audio, stability, software quality and device usability", however there are no concrete update details published at this time, unfortunately.

Anyway, MS Windows users can flash their device over HotSync or SD-card installation; Mac users can only use the SD-card installation method.
