I think I missed something. Isn't the 6400 a Wireless Web phone? I'm
quite confused by this post.

Apologies - this makes more sense now. I just went to Sanyo's site and
read the manual there.

Be careful Chris, they'll soon decide you are Phillipe if you dare say
anything negative about SprintPCS.

The rules have changed for getting rebates on new phones for existing
customers. There is no color Sanyo 6400, Mr. Taylor is hoping.

Not all Phillipe ... Speaking about the above text there Phillipe, just when
did you acknowledge there was no $270 increase, when you were harping all
along that there was a $270 increase when doing a phone mail in rebate.

As has been discussed here, it's not a requirement.

Re: Major SprintPCS price Increase ??
yes there is. its just not a sprint phone. I even confirmed this with sanyo.
in asia there is a color version of the 6400 that is a GSM ?? phone. not
sure what GSM is.
anyway they said it was not likely to be released here :-( sad.

Re: Major SprintPCS price Increase ??
if you want something other than the 1 or 2 crappy phones that are avaialble
YES it is a requirement (if it is as described)
period
if you offer a menu full of **** and then offer a single non **** item at a
price that is not palatable to 99% of your users than you have nothing but a
menu full of ****. that one option is a technicality at best.
if HALF of sprints phones were non vision and did not SUCK then you MIGHT
(maybe) have a foot to stand on.
