I am a migrant to the Sprint network (old Nextel user ). I just got my Touch on Thursday & have been playing around with it over the weekend. I have to say thus far I am extremely satisfied with the phone, except for the battery life but that's neither here nor there. I have the pro data pack which is suppossed to include pretty much unlimited everything from all of the other "Power Vision" packs along with unlimited text so on & so forth. I can't seem to find the 150 radio channels when I go to Sprint music I can only access the store to purchase music or play music that is on my phone. Have any of you tried to access this & if so can you please provide some feedback?
...you are out of luck. I went to through the same thing this past weekend, logging HOURS on the phone with Sprint and being frustrated by countless reps. I came up on the answer above while trying to find out if the phone used the Sprint Navigation. I figured the PRO pack was the way to go since it was $5 more than the base pro pack +unlimited txt (PRO has unlimited txt and is $30). WRONG. It seems the service (Navigagtion) is made for Sprint phones..., not PDA/smart phones. I changed it to the Ultimate Pack the next day thinking I would be able to get Music/TV premier ($25+10 for unlimited txt/got a "deal") at least. WRONG AGAIN. The music doesn't work either - only for the phones. You will not be getting the 150 channels nor any of the other goddies with the ultimate pack. I've only kept it because I got the unlimited txt for 6 months free so I'm still only paying $25 monthly which is what I'd be paying with the base pack + txt'ing.
There is a thread (around page 9) that says you can download and use Sirius. I did with no problems but I haven't gotten it to play any music. If anyone as a clue PLEASE give detailed instructions. My nerves are fried on this subject.
I had some of the same problems. I was never a nextel'r but did have the super-duper everything plan...I was paying more than what the phone can deliver...additionally I have found that 3rd party software can do what we are paying for anyway. I love the phone great tool.
Sprint Navigation is included in the leaked ROM update. I can launch it, but don't want to pay, so I have played with it yet. I don't think they are going to rip that out for the official version.
...huh? What...?
