I was lucky enough to get invited - I will get the phone for free for 6 months with unlimited access to everything Sprint offers.  Should be fun.<br><br>One question though - Can you browse the web on the big screen of the phone?  If not it's going to be pretty useless to me.  :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TAD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2007 3:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm confused, how does the switch button work exactly?

They never bother getting a new phone because it has a cool form factor, or a wide array of free features. But here comes  a phone where they can charge customers for songs and other media, and they are all over it.

That's a pretty good deal for a sprint phone, it's new, different concept.  Sounds like you just have a chip...on your shoulder, about Sprint.  Sorry for you.<br>-<br>"They never bother getting a new phone because it has a cool form factor, or a wide array of free features." unlike Apple who stole their product design from a European technology fair prize winner and is currently being sued.  Besides, can you name a phone company that does what you've commented on?<br>-<br><a href="http://www.syde-sho.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21427&highlight=IPhone" rel="nofollow">http://www.syde-sho.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21427&highlight=IPhone</a><br>-<br>btw, Flamer's grill has a point.  Sprint offers cheaper downloads, how is that nickel and diming the customer?  your point wasn't clear or specific.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cory Gathright]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2007 9:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[Also TheCount, Sprint has a program that helps customers with problematic histories via any employee.  Ask any Sprint employee about "Employees Helping Customers," and they should be able to help take the chip off!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cory Gathright]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2007 9:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can't wait for this phone.  It's going to be less than half the price of the IPhone, plus it will be backed by Sprint's OTA data backbone.  I have already ditched DSL at my house for EVDO Rev-A air cards.  Plus I heard that you will be able to listen to music on the MP3 player, text message and surf the web with your WAP browser all at the same time.  Now that's multi tasking.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Specnic]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 28th 2007 9:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[I got this phone today, and its pretty sweet... :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lizzie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 2nd 2007 12:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[This 'new' Sprint phone is a dinosaur in comparison to Apple's new iphone. Cut-Clear! <br>Anyone interested, should check-out apple.com for themselves. Yes, it's priced more, but I'd rather have smart, simple, GOOD  technology over Sprint's 'dropped-calls, even while taking to their technicians', 'I don't care about your service-just your money' attitudes. I've worked in a Apple-Mac world and by far, nothing's better!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ann]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2007 4:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[i think this is a really good move. the only thing that would be better (in my opinion) is to offer the actual itunes over the air to the iphone. that would be cool cuz i could buy the song anywhere i am and it would be in full quality and the same price so that i can bring it back home and play it on my computer.<br><br>btw skatter tech posted a review on this phone:<br><a href="http://skattertech.com/2007/04/samsung-upstage-m620-sprint/" rel="nofollow">http://skattertech.com/2007/04/samsung-upstage-m620-sprint/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[john]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 14th 2007 1:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[i think this is a really good move. the only thing that would be better (in my opinion) is to offer the actual itunes over the air to the iphone. that would be cool cuz i could buy the song anywhere i am and it would be in full quality and the same price so that i can bring it back home and play it on my computer.<br><br>btw skatter tech posted a review on this phone:<br><a href="http://skattertech.com/2007/04/samsung-upstage-m620-sprint/" rel="nofollow">http://skattertech.com/2007/04/samsung-upstage-m620-sprint/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[john]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 21st 2007 11:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hey, I am a Sprint Rep in the corporate office.  I have a new promo that I can offer to people who set up a new line of service with a power vision pack.  The Upstage is only $99.99 after rebate and you get a FREE 1GB Sandisk Memory Card!  It only runs through the end of the week and is only good on new lines of service, not phone upgrades.  Call me at my direct number 877-370-8227 or email me at eric.x.sparks@sprint.com.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Eric]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[eric]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 24th 2007 1:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/sprint-announces-samsung-upstage-99-cent-songs-over-the-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is another  great looking phone.
