hp ipaq 910
from what i can see on the specs of the 910 here on phonescoop, it runs gsm technology so it is completely incompatible w/ our (sprint's) network. the only possible combos for carriers that would would be tmobile or att. they're the largest carriers in the u.s. that support a gsm network. i mean there are others, they're the largest...check your area for some smaller regional gsm carriers they might be able to help you as well.

You spoke with a HP CSR and NOT with a Sprint one. There was the fundamental issue. We know our products and services, HP doesn't.

I know and that's why i haven't purchased it. I am doing my best to find a device that meets my needs while still using the sprint network.
