Sprint get’s touched by HTC - Sprint Touch
Posted by Will on Saturday, August 18th, 2007 at 8:14 pm under Announcements, Devices, HTC, Sprint, Windows Mobile
With AT&T and their iPhone putting the squeeze on other carriers’ subscriber base, it makes sense for them to scramble for the next-best iPhone alternative. As of now, the coolest touchscreen competitor in The States is the HTC Touch (and it’s CDMA brother, the HTC Vogue). And, it looks like Sprint wants in on the TouchFLO game. The CDMA Touch (again, the HTC Vogue) has been confirmed on the Sprint network as the appropriately named Sprint Touch.As expected, the Sprint Touch will be rocking the same 400Mhz processor, 2.8 inch screen, quad-band GSM radio with EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD slot, and 2 MP shooter as all the other “Touches” in the world. But, Sprint has decided to make some proprietary changes to the TouchFLO interface. The TouchFLO cube will sacrifice one of it’s “faces” for a Sprint Software Store - weak. But, the improved keyboard and upgradeable EVDO (to Rev. A, naturally) helps even things out.All you Sprint loyals keeping an eye out for this thing to drop had better stay tuned, we’ll keep you in the loop.[Via: WM Experts]

I’m fairly sure all the other ‘touches’ in the world have had a 200 mHz processor, not a 400. This is a big upgrade for sprint.

A quad-band GSM radio with Edge won’t be much use on Sprint!
September 5th, 2007 at 4:33 pm
Right you are!
That’s what I get for trying to cut&paste.
September 9th, 2007 at 11:56 pm
This is going to be one sweet phone.

September 10th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
now i work for sprint well sprint/radioshack kiosk and i have been doin alot a looking around about this phone and from what i can tell this is going to be the start of a hole new way of thinking for cell phones and to be honest i think its about time the only worrie i have is about the cost of the phones
September 10th, 2007 at 3:27 pm
Cost is a definite concern.
But I agree with you, touchscreens will become more and more important. But, that’s not to say that there won’t be a market for non-touchscreen phones.
As you said, cost will be prohibitive to some, but at least we get rebates and subsidies with new contracts/activations.
September 12th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
well one good thing is that i hurd that sprint is going to start doing there full rebates as long as you sign a new (2) year contract (somthing that they should have done from the start if you ask me) wich is a good thing so that will pull down the price.
just wanted to know if anyone hurd anthing about the releas date i hurd form some web pages that it will be end of this mounth early next mounth then i hurd the 4 of november wich would be cool sence my b-day is two days after just let me know what you know later
September 12th, 2007 at 5:31 pm
September 23rd, 2007 at 2:16 pm
When does this phone come out for Sprint? I’m really looking forward to it!
September 24th, 2007 at 5:47 pm
as far as i know it is a camcorder but scence nothing has been released for it so i dont know it is running windows 6 tho and it has meadi player so you would have to think that it could but you never know.
what i really want to know is what the price is gonna be i here 460.00 but you never know it could be less (hopfully) but if not i think i can take the blow to the wallet lol
September 28th, 2007 at 10:12 am
I also work for a radioshack kiosk. I hear this phone is going to be out before Christmas. The price is still up in the air from what I hear
. HTC is a good brand, but anytime you have a brand new phone like this, there will be problems… Ex: Ipone=text messaging. I would wait a couple of months before you jump into buying this thing and see if there are any flaws.
October 1st, 2007 at 6:08 pm
hey chris you would not happen to work in orange park would you
October 6th, 2007 at 8:06 pm
Phone come out November 4th. I have a frined work at Sprint.
October 10th, 2007 at 6:43 pm
were does your friend work beacuse i work for sprint and its going to start comming out on the 28 of this mount at least for us sprint enployees lol but for everyone els as far as i know it will be the fourth
October 13th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
hey wasup, we deffinitly have 4 major new phones coming out before the holidays but the HTC touch will be the biggest target.
October 23rd, 2007 at 1:03 pm
do any one know if the touch has gps turn by turn direction on it ty
October 24th, 2007 at 7:11 am
I’m pretty sure the review is wrong about Wi-Fi, I think Sprint stripped it out of this phone. Which is to bad, that would have easily made it the ultimate phone to have…
October 27th, 2007 at 8:46 am
http://www2.sprint.com/mr/news_dtl.do?id=18320
this website may be helpful. IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS PHONE i hope that its not expensive and that the onscreen key board bottons are to small.
October 28th, 2007 at 3:37 am
It has Wifi but is being enabled because of the EV-DO, i dont think it will have GPS but who really needs it when you have things like google maps and such, anyway i hear they will have a software update of telenav sometime after release. Although the keyboard is fairly small and the stylus must be put to use when texting, there will be a software for a full keyboard available if you’re a quick text type of person too. $249 after your $100 rebate and a new contract isnt bad at all for everything else you get.
October 28th, 2007 at 10:50 am
Then will there be a way to turn wifi on? I heard they completely removed it from the Sprint version.
October 28th, 2007 at 11:13 am
probably not but that will be the first thing i check out, we should have them in by friday.
November 4th, 2007 at 11:46 am
Does anyone know if the Touch’s text messanging has threaded chat like the Palm 755 & Centro??
November 4th, 2007 at 1:06 pm
Does anyone know if Telenav or GPS is on this phone? I hope so! I really like the small size.
November 4th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
the text mess come in like email, but there is a messenger on it in which you could use like that, there is a app you can get for the gps
November 4th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
How about Picture Mailing by sending to other cell phone users? Currently I have the Moto Q & the only way to send a picture mail is by using 1 of the email accounts like AOL or Yahoo. But when I had the Krzr I was able to send pictures to another cell phone #.
November 4th, 2007 at 6:32 pm
Oh by the way, thanks for the info. I’m trying to decide between getting the HTC Touch or the Palm Centro. I’m having a hard time figuring out which 1 to get. Can you give me some insight on which would be a better deal??
November 4th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
well the centro is alot cheaper than the touch, however the centro is alot easier to text on, both have similar things in common like bluetooth, web, sprint tv, ect. The touch has a more mature look and soft feel where as the centro has a plastic feel to it. Overall, its not really what the touch does as far as features but its how it does it. (gotta love the touch-flo technology!)
November 4th, 2007 at 8:51 pm
That makes sense. I just wish that Sprint would just keep everything together in ONE phone instead of having some features in the Centro, some in the Treo, and then remove those same features from the Touch. The sprint store in my neighborhood didn’t have the Touch on display so I couldn’t try it out. But I was able to check out the Centro & it’s not too bad.
November 4th, 2007 at 9:08 pm
o yea the centro is very nice dont get me wrong, and probably more easy to use but i would try and go to a bigger sprint store like a corperate store to at least get a chane to play with the touch before you make your final decsion
November 4th, 2007 at 9:09 pm
O yea and there’s no support for MMS or Picture Mail as Sprint calls it, so you’ll have to send photos and video via email. The PDA phone supports POP3 and IMAP email along with Microsoft Direct Push mail and Exchange. There’s a link to download OZ Instant Messaging (no charge) and that app handles AIM, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo IM.
November 8th, 2007 at 9:01 am
Just wanted to let everyone know that I bought the Touch and it has well exceeded my expectations. The size alone makes it worth it. The touchflo interface is awesome and the keyboards will take a little getting use to, but once I practice a little I’m sure I will be able to type fast on them, without a stylus.
November 10th, 2007 at 6:13 pm
Any word on if there is a way to turn wifi on? Is there hardware even there? Can a wifi card be added? I don’t know how it could be unless it would go in the microsd slot.
November 12th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
how do u get the telanav app
November 16th, 2007 at 4:07 pm
I have actually used both the Touch and the Centro for two weeks each and still cannot decided which one to keep. One thing I have noticed is the Touch has the ‘cool’ factor. It is smaller, sleeker and just overall cooler in it’s features. However, the battery on the Centro lasts much longer and seems overall a more reliable phone. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments to help me with my decision making process?
November 16th, 2007 at 6:07 pm
Sarah,
I had the same problem deciding which phone to purchase as well. In the end, I decided to go with the Centro. It has some additional features that the Touch does not have. Such as Picture Mail, Threaded Chat, and there are lots of free third party apps (games, software, etc.) that you can download to the phone to get even more features out of it. The Palm OS seems like a better system to me compared to the Windows Mobile OS. The Palm OS works much better on my Vista Laptop than the Windows Mobile. I was never able to sync anything from the Windows Mobile OS to my laptop. The only major different between the phones are the touch cube thing on the HTC & you get some accessories.
November 16th, 2007 at 6:09 pm
Also, the Centro has Voice Nuance which is a cool app. You can talk your text messages, tasks, calendar appointments, etc instead of typing them.
November 20th, 2007 at 6:21 pm
Nice Review… as a touch owner… I love this phone. I use it for EVERYTHING!! I can now put my Samsung IP-830W on the Auction Block (I never travel int’l anyway)…. The Touch comes with nice strong belt pouch that I use to hold the touch while working out using it as My Mp3 player!
Also great for getting decent quality 2.0mp pics - surprisingly no Flash tho! ;-( . Net surfing is speedy… it wasn’t even 2 hrs after i bought it and I was already doing paypal transactions from the Touch!!!! Love it. The best Smart Phone ever invented IMHO (and I’ve owned most of them)
I sound like a Sprint or HTC rep… but I’m really not… I was ready to switch to AT&T after being a Sprint customer for 10 years straight…. simply because AT&T offer a better lineup of smartphones for business users.
Took a last chance visit to the Sprint Store and I was blown away by the Touch… it’s looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAY SEXIER in person!!!!! The online pics don’t do it ANY justice at all!!! For example, the silver two-tone bezzle around the screen is really like a black gun-metal color - which makes it look even better for those of us who are anal about phone cosmetics…
I’m sold… hands down… BEST COST-BENEFIT SMARTPHONE EVER MADE…. step on your i-phone… you won’t want it anymore!!!!
P.s. - Can’t wait for the GPS feature coming in Rev-A update.

November 27th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
Do you know of a free third party spell check app for the Centro?
November 27th, 2007 at 5:37 pm
For Spell Check Apps, I was able to find:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Word-Processing-Text-Tools/Spell5-40338.shtml
Let me know how it works out
November 28th, 2007 at 12:59 am
Woa… i just read the whole page since Aug 24.
Well.. i order it today. I cant wait for it.
I have the blackberry7100 with nextel so i gave up my company’s two-way for this. It better be good.
Best part is that i ended up getting it FREE. Aparently i have been a good customer for about 7 years and paid in time so that entitled me to a $500 credit to Sprint. My due for the Touch is $9.30 hehe.
Questions
1: Dose the phone notifies you when you recive an email ?
2: Have they figure it out how to put Telenav in it ?
3: Any sites / forums dedicated to this phone ?
November 28th, 2007 at 1:04 am
well to u this BeBe you have thirty days to take it back, the only thing i didnt like about it that it dont send pic unless its thru email, just like the blackberry and all other pocketpc phones thru sprint. and did u have da same blackberry for seven years. yea it will notify if u get email. it will cum thru like a text message sound, just have to program it to do that dat, well set it up.
November 28th, 2007 at 1:20 am
haha… just like the email notification i just go on my blackberry that a new reply has been posted here.
Ive had all the expensive Nextel phones they every made since Nextel came out. No. Im not rich but i like to have the best things i can afford. The picture thing dosent bother me much. Im not a texting whore and plus email-ing the picture it just a few touches extra then texting it.
What i use alot is the email service. I recive emails on 3 different addresses and most of them i have to reply right a way. Also i use Yahoo Messenger alot talking to my relatives in europe. And the last often feature i use is the Telenav…it would be greate if they can add it to this phone. If not… ill have to try Google maps.
IPhone……well… my brother got one right when they came out….. you know… the only week that they cost $700 lmao. He was pissed the following week haha.
Its a very cool phone…no bashing …..Apple always makes the finest lil things,,,,,,,BUTTTTTTTT the only reason i didnt get the IPhone was :::::NO INSURANCE ::::: wow… how can AT&T not offer that?!?!?! Its crazy.
With the touch i got full service and repair as well as full replacement insurance.
Thumbs up already !!!!!
November 28th, 2007 at 1:46 am
yea, i aint rich either and i got the phone for email to. i just found this cool full keyboard. Sph full keyboard, its called. so since u like to email u might like, so check it out.
November 28th, 2007 at 1:48 am
ohh awesome.. you have a link ?
November 28th, 2007 at 1:53 am

November 28th, 2007 at 5:49 pm
BeBe,
How in the world did you manage to get the Touch for free/$9.30? I’ve been with Sprint for 10 years & they were fighting to give me the $99 promotional price on the Centro.
November 28th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
Hey folks, i just found an AWESOME feature in the Touch!! If you’re like me and can’t touch type to well, you can use the awesome Transcriber feature. The new Transcriber version in Mobile 6 is superior to past attempts. Instead of using the various keyboards on the bottom menu, select TRANSCRIBER, grab your stylus and WRITE yes WRITE your words out in your handwriting and TRANSCRIBER converts your handwriting to text!! It’s very foregiving too! I can write about 5 words at a time and it converts them all in one pass!!!
Try it out… WAAAY COOL!!!! LUVN MY TOUCH ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!
November 29th, 2007 at 9:44 pm
So .. i got it today….. what a neath lil machine :).. i love it. However i have a lil problem that just occured. Maybe i dont know how to do it. I was playing with sprint tv and after i got done the screen got stuck the other way and i dont know how to get it back to normal.
ClickFast … how do we get to that feature ?
November 29th, 2007 at 11:14 pm
so did u eva get it fix, or u still have that prob. let me know maybe i cud help
November 29th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
who all on the forum like the sprint touch. cuz i love mind, but guess wat i did. i was deleting a program that i didnt want and deleted my sprint tv, so now i gotta got to sprint and le them put back on. make it so bad it ask me twice did i wan to delete this program, being all fast a cocky and no payin attention, i deleted it. go ahead and laugh, i deserve it. unless sum knows how to get it back on there without takin it to sprint.
November 29th, 2007 at 11:47 pm
BeBe to fix the screen back to portrait click on the launcher and it’s the 4th icon from the left on the top row.. .it has a double arrow with the touch in the vertical position…

December 1st, 2007 at 3:37 pm
hey guys….i hope u are all well…. we just got the first snow in chicago and it really sucks hundred’s of accidents in the first hour lol.
Ok back with more problems and questions.
My contacts. How do i transfer them from my Blackberry 7100i to the Touch ? I tryied everything. Customer service said they cant do it. Sprint stores say they dont have the software. My ActiveSync instalation didnt work on the PC , it said some DLL is corupt and cant install it. The last lady i talk to in Customer Support ” suggested ” that i should try do it ” manually ” hahahaha. Thats the last thing i wanna do.
Any tips on this ???
My messengers. I installed the triple messenger service : AOL MSN YAHOO . I use Yahoo messenger everyday on my phone so i need it
. It logs in but it cannot retrive my friends list and gives me : TIMEOUT (code: 504 )
Any tips on this ???
Thank you guys !!!!
December 1st, 2007 at 6:20 pm
damn it Bebe, to tranfer ya numbers, just bluetooth ya contacts. go to ya bluetooth option and it shud give u the option to tranfer, pics, numbers and sum files. on the messenger thing, y ddint u just use the one that cam with phone, it works fine and it retreives ya friends list i use it all the time.
December 1st, 2007 at 6:30 pm
oh yeah u have to installed the messenger that came with the fone
December 1st, 2007 at 8:32 pm
If u are talking about the IM in the cube , that dosent work neither
. it saz it might not be signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found.
ill try the bluetooth thing and see what ill end up with.
Thank you Charles
December 1st, 2007 at 10:51 pm
it says the same thing on mine. but i put my messenger in my start menu and it works that way. i dont know why it dont work the otha way. but yea the bluetooth thing shud work, gud luck
December 1st, 2007 at 10:55 pm
this is the order u can take,go into da, start menu, settings, menu,and check instant messenger. and see if that works, let me know. one thing u can only select 7 item to show up int he start menu, so be wisely n wat u choose. ha ha lol
December 4th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
just so yall know i had to hard reset my touch, to get my sprint tv back on it, but hard resetin it, made me download errthing else to, but it help cause i downloaded the new version of live, that lets u speak ya choice, google map 2.0.5, and couple of otha things to, so unlike me, be careful in wat u deleting off ya touch, oh yeah Bebe, did the bluetooth thing work for ya.just thought i wud share that, i holla
December 4th, 2007 at 10:59 pm
ehhh i still didnt get my contacts…i dont quite get it how i would transfer them thru the bluetooth if you could please explain to me step by step..ill buy u a beer :). teh yahoo messenger problem is still there… my msn works fine tho. its a tricky lil phone but im sure once u get it its a fun toy.
ohhh… any other way to lock the screen besides the top button ?
December 5th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
to lock the screen it is right next to the screen flip thing in the launcher. i have neva had a blackbery so i really dont know how the bluetooth work on it. but i know on windows type fone, u gotta go into the option of the bluetooth, turn ya blutooth on, on ya touch by goin into the comm manager, menu, and hit the mode tab at the bottom and making it visible to other devices, but on the blackberry u might wanna get the manual out,. on the messenger did u try my menthod i text previously.
December 7th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
Hey,
I’m having the same issue with Yahoo messenger. AIM and MSN work fine, but Yahoo won’t load up the contacts. It’s logging into the service as it is logging me out of my other machine (happens when you log in from another location), but then getting the same 504 timeout error. Called Sprint and they didn’t know what to do and put in a service ticket on the issue. If anyone knows, would be greatly appreciated.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:54 am
Still havnt figure out the YIM issue but everything else seems to be working greate.
I finally got my contacts in. I went to a service center and after they cussed me for an hour they finally did it lol…….well 90% of my contacts. Some ran away lol.
On another hand.. i found a nice forum for Touch and other PDA’s …. i d/l-ed a bunch of cool stuff from there (4sided cube , nice keyboard….etc )
check it out : http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/
I hope all you guys are well and if i dont talk to you……Merry Xmass
December 12th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
I love my touch, but I have a couple of questions that I don’t really know where to ask so I’m hoping someone will see/answer them…
1) I downloaded Opera Mini but I CAN’T FIND IT ANYWHERE IN MY PHONE. I don’t know what to doooo; I want to use it, but I can’t find it. So I figured I’d just delete it rather than having it take up space when I’m note even using it, but I can’t even find it to delete it! Help :o(
2) Is there any way to use the full qwerty touch keyboard for texting/writing in word/anything at all? The only time I ever see it pop up is when I am on a screen that I can’t even type on (like a text message I am reading) and as soon as I’m somewhere I CANT type (like replying to a text message) it goes back to the 20 key that I hate. If there is no way to use it, where could I find a third party touch keyboard that is a full qwerty and is easy to use?
Thanks to antone who can help!
December 12th, 2007 at 4:26 pm
to brenda
i doint know were to find it either, but i wud check my program file on my device and in my storage card. but on the keyboard thing u cud refer to one of my recent messages on here it has the web to get that. matter here it is: http://samsung-sph-i700.handster.com/product.php?id=7
December 12th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
Brenda.. Hello
.
I would do a file search for the Opera. It should find it
Start/Program Files / Search and type in Opera and see if it finds it. Another way is to go download it again and pay attention in what location the phone saves it and go there and manually delete it.
The keyboard you can actually change it right from the bottom tab by pressing the little arrow on the left side of the (20) sign
December 16th, 2007 at 9:12 pm
hey as far as the keyboard, go to http://www.google.com type in spb software, click on spbsoftware link, then lick the tab that says “PPC” it will then show a ton of applications find the one that says “Full Screen Keyboard” and download it, I love it! (to brenda, my name is antoine were you talking to me??)haha

i have the sprint htc mogul(6800) and it doesnt send pix messages wtf does any1 hav a patch or app tht can fix this email me at albanypowerlax88@aol.com
January 4th, 2008 at 1:11 am
for most PDAs, the only way to send pictures is you have to send it as a email as an attachment. thats how you do it on the 6800.
January 4th, 2008 at 2:59 am
SPRINTRep THAT IS NOT NECCESSARILY TRUE. SPRINT IS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT I KNOW THATS NOT ABLE TO SEND PICTURES ON A PDA OR POCKET PC PHONE. AND ALSO WIN U SEND THE PIC TO A PDA PR POCKET PC, IT HAS TO GO ONLINE, WHY IS DAT.
January 4th, 2008 at 3:00 am
IT HAS TO GO ONLINE TO VIEW DA PIC IS WAT I AM SAYING.
January 4th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
That is a pain. Some of the new Sprint PDAs only send picture mail by email. I found out the hard way when I purchased the Moto Q several months ago. I couldn’t stand sending picture mail like that so a few months later I got the Palm Centro. I did my research this time around to make sure it does every thing I want/need. It sends pic mail to cell #s as well as email. Also the threaded chat (groups ur txt msgs together like in a chat room) is a nice feature to have since I text a lot. Sometimes its good to do some research on the phones, read reviews & got to a Sprint store to actually try out the features on the phones. It helps to see what ur getting.
January 4th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Definitely an interface to check out. Love the look and feel of it with the Touch.

January 7th, 2008 at 12:57 am
charles you can send pix on pdas and ppcs, you just have to send them via email thats how they are just set up, and to send them via email you have to have the vision package or pic mail/internet… why is that?

Also, once I added the Sprint server, I deleted the Verizon one. Not sure if it’s necessary, but I did and it works fine for me. Good luck.

I do have a Touch through Sprint and it works fine for me. You must have missed something.
Also, you can try turning off your capslock. Pretty sure most of us can read lowercase too.

OZ IM error code 504, I am also getting this error trying to use yahoo messenger, the funny thing is that if I use another account, it worked just fine. Seems like there is no explanation why certain account get this error from OZ IM.

my boyfriend kind of lives at a distance and i want to send him pictures bc i like to keep in touch and well i got the htc touch bc my palm centro was having issues. but my question is how do you send pictures i know its thru email but does anybody have step by step directions because everytime i do it, it never sends and i want to send from the email to a phone so how do i do that to? im sooooo lost and im deffinatly going back to the palm centro it was excellent!!!!!! thx
July 28th, 2008 at 8:05 am
katelyn yes it has text messaging the qwerty keybord comes up on the screen so u have to use ur fingers or the pen. i reccommend if somebody wants this phone and has long nails u shouldnt buy it or u should be very careful llol

well i am back to say i have finally gave up on the touch. i went with instinct, and it does wat i want it to do. it does have mobile 6 or 6.1, but it does all the otha stuff. like send picture to phone email, or send vid to a phone or email. dont get it wrong i loved the touch just got tied of havin to go to the sprint site to retrieve my pics.
and if u send a pic thru email on ya touch, u have to send and recieve, becuz its just sittin in ya outbox, until u send and recieve in which eva email u sent it from.
sry to come back and praise the sprint instinct, but it is on sprint now newowrk. questions i got answers. holla atcha bwoi and i gone for now.
August 1st, 2008 at 6:33 pm

2 days + 5 reboots, internal GPS sucks! Save your money, buy other phone.
