Most Sprint Phones Getting Exchange and Lotus Notes Corporate Email

Sprint really does want the Instinct to be the best iPhone clone in the land, 'cause they're adding corporate email (Exchange and Lotus Notes) to it and a slew of other consumer phones through Sprint Mobile Email Work. The corporate email setup comes gratis with their Everything plans, or $9.99 separately. The other lucky phones receiving this blessing "in the coming weeks" are LG's Rumor and Fusic; the RAZR, RAZR2 and KRZR; Katana I and II and the 8400; and Sammy's A900, A900M and M500. More phones will get it later—all the details below. More »

LG Rumor Rumor Confirmed: Firmware Update Now Available

Maybe Sprint wasn't pulling inventory, but the rumors about the LG Rumor's shoddy firmware turn out to be, well, rooted in truth. Now you or your Rumor-owning loved ones can get a fast free upgrade: Either go Main Menu > Settings/Tools > Tools> Update Firmware, or get your sorry butt to a Sprint store and go to the back of the customer-service line. Message from Sprint: "While we have confidence in the quality of this device, we do encourage Rumor users to take advantage of this simple over-the-air upgrade." [Sprint]

Rumor Smashed: Sprint Still Selling LG Rumors, Just Can't Keep Them in Stock

There was an rumor over the weekend about Sprint stopping sales of the LG Rumor due to a firmware erasure problem, so we got in contact with Sprint and got some information to set the record straight. No, Sprint hasn't stopped sales of the Rumor—the reason why you can't find it in stores is because it has "exceeded [their] expectations," and they're facing inventory problems. There is a small technical error that "impacts a very low percentage of potential customers," but they assured us that it's been addressed and has "in no way impacted our inventory issue."

Sprint halted sales of the LG Rumor due to a firmware update that inadvertantly reveals a data-erasing debug mode. Spring is offering free repair to those affected, offer over the air updates to unaffected owners, and resume sales when the firmware issue is fixed.

Sprint's Q4 Lineup Leaked?

Sprint's Q4 lineup looks to have leaked to the public. They'll be offering the LG Rumor, HTC Touch, Palm Centro and Blackberry Pearl 8130. You may remember the 8130 on Sprint from when it was still called the Pearl 2, and it's on track to be released at the same time as original intel reported.

Sprint customers have long gotten the shaft on new phones, so what do you think? Are technology offerings looking better for subscribers? And is it me, or is the Centro getting less ugly by the day? [engadget]
