with sprints data plan. Is this not included with theirs?
...
It's also already included on "The Internet".
...
That's precisely what I thought. People who dial 411 waste money, I have Google right on my phone's home screen, it knows that I live in Las Vegas, Nv, and so therefore whenever I type in Walgreens for example it gives addresses & phone #'s, I can even click on the phone # and call the business directly.
Heck even if you don't have a data plan on your account, I'm sure it's cheaper to pay whatever the data charges are to get a phone # real quick off of Google that the $1.25 per 411 call.

Also, 1-800-FREE-411. You have to listen to an add for about 20 seconds, but it's free 411 service. I use it all the time.
...
Dude, you gotta switch to Goog 411. 800-4664-411. No adds, still free. If you are using a voice driven information source, this is the one to use.
...
You can also send an SMS to "GOOGL" and get the phone number sent back.

The version that comes on Sprint's PDA is not the Executive Edition. But you can get most of those features with a combination of the packaged Pocket Express and Live Search. I think, I could be wrong, the Instinct comes with Pocket Express Executive edition. Using Live Search I have never had to make a 411 call to find a phone number.
...
Sprint includes the basic edition, which is always free. This is the Executive edition, which is not free, even with Sprint.
Basic: news, sports, weather, and travel info
Executive: basic + movie showtimes, stock tracker, mapping, and 411 search
...
Thanks Rich! I presume this is only for new subscribers or existing customers that are willing to add the data feature?
...
yes you were correct but no longer correct sprint now offers the executive for free now if you upgrade your software on a smartphone
...
Can you give me more info. I own the mogul and have done all upgrades but only have the basic express.
...
there is windows mobile app called windows live. and it does more than the executive package. movie/times, gas prices, business/restaurants, if gps enabled turn by turn directions. if not you can manually enter address. all for FREE. i went to the fav and went to explore windows mobile.
...
thanks Mark. my mogul came with windows live and I do use it. but I am partial to the Pocket Express. "news of the weird" rocks! so does "strange news".
...
Sadly, at&t's Windows Mobile phones don't have Windows Live. Why is that?
...
does Verizon offer Win Live? it seemed when our company issued a pda through verizon, I don't remember if it had it.
...
Its not hard to download and install Live, even on an edge connect its not a big deal.
...
yea i did some reasearch could not find a reason why. are you able to see it on the screen or anything... but possible reason why it not be available with att is that might lose revenue from telenav. but thats just my thoughts.
the site is called windows mobile total access
also a good rss feed program that i use is called viigo (also downloaded from same location)
