A second Sprint phone with Bluetooth?
We're not exactly conspiracy theorists (and we're not exactly not, either), but we've always felt sorta Oliver Stone about Sprint's reluctance to carry a phone with Bluetooth. We asked their marketing reps about this last year,
wondering whether it was because a Sprint phone with Bluetooth would make it too easy for people connect their laptops to their phones and piggyback on Sprint's flat-rate high-speed PCS Vision wireless data network rather than pay the full 80 bucks or whatever that Sprint charges if you want to use their network with a wireless laptop card, but all we got were the expected denials. And we were all set to give them the benefit of the doubt until they did finally sorta offer a phone with Bluetooth, the Sony Ericsson T608 (which was almost impossible to find), it turned out you couldn't get flat-rate PCS Vision for it — you had to pay the metered rate, something that would discourage anyone from using it with their laptop.
Anyway, there's nothing official yet, but Sprint's application for a second cellphone with Bluetooth, LG's slider-style LX325, just turned up on the FCC's website, so it's likely they've got something cooking.
