welcome to the new world of sprint, i just bought this phone this morning and same problem for me too. I called sprints so called "advanced tech support" and the bottom line is this. you now nust pay 40 a month for that service and buy there modem and sighn a 2 year agreement. Reverse engineering if you will, they made it that way on purpose. 8100 and 8200 will work but not 8300

I am having a similar problem to yours. Except mine is more complicated. My device manager doesn't even recognize the drivers on my disk. So I had to manually install them. And I'm still having problems. I can't connect to squat! But everyone keeps saying to use bitpim. Just yahoo it.
