Congratulations on the purchase of your phone

you the convenience of a digital phone and a personal digital

assistant (PDA). Although the products have been effectively

combined, they can be used together or completely

independent of one another. The Sprint PCS Phone™ uses 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

HotSync® application can be used to synchronize a desktop

machine with the Sprint PCS Phone™. This phone is

lightweight, easy-to-use, reliable and offers many significant

features:

䊳 A Complete Palm Powered™ color screen.

䊳 PocketMirror integrates with the Palm Desktop™

software. This allows you to keep a desktop PC and the

handheld computer synchronized with the same

information.

someone saved in your address book.

䊳 Dual-band capability provides access to other PCS CDMA

and analog cellular networks where Sprint PCS has

implemented roaming agreements.
