Sprint Mobile Email Does Exchange, Domino

By Geoff Duncan June 19, 2008

Mobile operator Sprint, struggling to hang on to subscribers as it invests in rolling out its much-touted WiMax mobile broadband network, has announced Sprint Mobile Email Work, an extension of its existing mobile email service that will enable users of consumer-oriented non-PDA phones—like the iPhone-competing Instinct—to tap into corporate email systems as well as end-user email accounts like Gmail, Windows Live, and Yahoo Mail.

Sprint plans to include Sprint Mobile Email Work at no extra charge in its Everything plans, which start at $69.99 a month. Mobile Email Work will enable users to tap into email accounts hosted on Exchange 2000, 2003, and 2007 systems, as wel as Lotus Domino accounts. Email messages get pushed to the user’s phone as soon as they arrive in a user’s desktop mailbox; user can read, reply to, delete, and create new messages using their enterprise-based accounts, and all changes are synchronized back to the server.

Sprint Mobile Email Work will initially be available on the Samsung Instinct (where it’ll ship pre-loaded); Sprint will also offer the software for the LG Rumor and Fusic phones; Motorola’s RAZR, RAZR2, and KRZR; the Samsung M500, A900, and A900M, and the Sanyo 8400, Katana, and Katana II in the coming weeks in the form of a software update. Sprint eventually plans to roll Sprint Mobile Email Work out to additional handsets.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
