Reading through the book, I know who reads anymore, but on pg 46 talking
about downloading ringers, games, etc.. this wording is used: " NOTE: You
are charged for airtime minutes when using the PCS Wireless Web Browser."
Reading what I could, I thought Vision included unlimited usage, and did not
count against airtime minutes.
Also it looks like the phone has about 1M of space for downloads, does this
include space for all things: apps, games, etc that are downloaded and
Pictures taken on the phone. Or are pictures stored separately?
I called *2 and asked the 1st question, and was told the vga1000/a620 is a
3G data phone, and does not use the Wireless Web. But my question is why is
it in the users manual for that phone?
Also the difference between 2 of the vision packs, 1 is pic. pack the other
is called premium (I think), appears to be only in download credit & picture
uploads. If one gets premium pack, can pictures be uploaded at all, if so
how much extra? I don't plan on using the camera phone for real pics, but if
I get a real good shot of something I might want to save it.
Thanks for all your help.

It doesn't. Wireless Web is 2G data. It wouldn't apply in the case of a
Vision phone.

The VGA1000 does not use airtime minutes to be on the Web. =20
See the capitalized "Wireless Web"? That's a brand name. =20
Our older technology. The "User Guide" is a misnomer. =20
It's more of a "Welcome to SprintPCS" pamphlet, and so more=20
generic. That's why it still refers to Wireless Web.

Anything you go to "Downloads" for, that's what that 1MB is=20
for. Ringers, Games, Screensavers, Applications. Pictures=20
have an independent memory. Don't remember the amount.

They told you right. See above for my speculation about why=20

Yes, Pictures can be uploaded. Picturemail is available as=20
a $5/month add-on to the Premium pack. Unlimited access to=20
Picturemail. Picmail is, basically, an "all or nothing"=20
proposition. Sign up for unlimited access, or get none at=20
