the popular Palm® Operating System, thus allowing you to
install and run over 10,000 Palm Computing applications.
Custom e-mail and web applications have been included and
especially designed to work with the Sprint PCS Phone™. The

machine with the Sprint PCS Phone™. This phone is
lightweight, easy-to-use, reliable and offers many significant
features:
