Sprint launched a new online tool that enables users to take a deep look at the features of a phone before they buy it.

The “DemoAnywhere” tool gives you a features list, videos, multiple images, tutorials, and more information on your prospective device. There are step-by-step instructions on how to transfer tunes to your device, as well as some community features. It’s not quite as pretty as Google’s Nexus One 3D tour but, to be fair, Sprint has to provide information for a large number of devices. This isn’t earth-shattering news, but it’s a nice little feature that the other carriers should implement.

    That’s fine and dandy…how does sprint miss the boat by showing graphic interfaces of archaic phones it already has instead of spending it’s time (like verizon and t-mobile) pushing out a real variety of phones that users can actually buy!!. C’mon sprint, hit the freakin mark once in a while!
