Im currently suffering with a very stupid sprint phone, is there any way to have email's from my Hotmail/gmail sent to my phone as text messages?

In gmail you can set up forwarding with your number@messaging.sprintpcs.com as the forwarding to address. IME in some emails with large attachments it doesn't forward.

Na, went with a free replacement that unlike my katana doesn't even have email.
Cant do a centro, it was probably cool 7 years ago but everything is so outdated now on the centro...If I go smart phone its gotta be decent.
 But you never know, hold on to them/make an offer 8)

Many times junk emails aren't spam.

They may not be cool, but they are still great phones.

I recently played around with one, the browser sucks.
Are there any apps?
