This is just evil, so you pay extra for a handset with bluetooth, they are allowed to market the device as having bluetooth, but.... you can't really use it.


I find this strange because I stopped by a Sprint store in Chicago's loop (Accenture building) to ask specifically about using the new bluetooth phone with something blueooth aware like an iPaq. The sales guy, "sure, you should be able to use the internet through bluetooth, no problem". Of course, he had no idea what he was talking about - wondeful.


I've been a Sprint customer for about 5 years, and (unfortunately) I'm locked into a two year contract. Luckily, this contract ends very soon, and once it does, I'm gone.
