I have the the Sero 500. would the touchpro work on my plan? or would sprint require i upgrade the data? Is there way to see if a particular phone is eligible for my plan?

dont know about a list but i remember people getting the tp2 and centro because thats the last phone available for the plan. tp2 people even loaded android os onto it

Quote from: Yeki89 on December 01, 2011, 09:18:58 PM
no its the last of smartphones. it just passes as a reg. phone as the chipset isn't high enough to be considered a smart phone (as told by sprint rep)

I have a dumb phone plan with Sprint and am looking for a very resposive touchscreen phone. From my limited research it seems they used to use "Resistive touchscreen technology", which make the touch less responsive. I text a lot and that just doesn't work for me. Any ideas?
Also is there any way to use a smart phone on a dumb phone plan? Can you somehow lock those features and thereby make it compatible with the plan?

In assuming the touch is not that sesitive as there is a keyboard and stylus. Also from the pictures the screen seems kinda small for touch typing. Am I wrong?
How much you selling them for these days?
Any way to modify an official smartphone for dumb plan?

Why would you touch type when you have a keyboard?

Yes, the screen is smaller then current phones, but if you're on a grandfathered plan it's not like you have a lot of options.

My biggest issue is that I text like crazy, and like to delete irrelevant messages. With my my current phone I have to hit as many as 5 buttons to delete each message individually. How does it work on the Centro?
Also the keyboard seems kinda small no?
Can you block web access?

You can hit menu and D together (step #1) delete (step #2).

You cannot select multiple msgs to delete, you can delete though all msgs older then 1 week or 2 weeks or a month.

The green one is the 2nd gen, not sure about the other onse, Dan has a few of them.
