Remember when Sega came out with the dreamcast and it blew other systems out of the water?

Technology is only as good as it's marketing team and when it comes to cellphones, the network that supports it.

Yeah I remember. Sprint is always ahead of the game. Wi-max proves that! Not to mention Sprint speed, and a full line up of touch screen phones. Im glad I switched all my lines to Sprint.

This should be a cool feature either way. 😎
