I have sprint sero plan. What is the best phone to buy?

[tramchip]

What phone should I buy in order to take advantage of Sprint Sero plan feature?

I will use Sprint TV and radio alot so I need a fairly good sounds system. I don't care about Sprint Music download.

I need a good web browser that could allow me to open most of the websites (especially www.metrotransit.com , it is a bus schedules site)

Good battery life is a bonus

Be able to use Microsoft Word.

I don't need download alot of third party program

I don't want a phone that have too many glitches and freezes.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

The Centro sounds like it would suit your needs.

well centro doesnt have WM, maybe the samsung ace? that has it.

[tramchip]

what is WM?

what is WM?

WM = Windows Mobile , as opposed to palm OS which the centro uses...

i have an ace, and really really enjoy it, i am considering the instinct as i am still in my trial period, but if i am unable to switch i really am happy with the ace... you can view word documents for free, but to edit them, i believe youd need to purchase mobile office for the handset... i was a little mislead by this upfront, but in retrospect i made the decision pretty hastily...

no issues with glitches perse and the bredth of windows mobile apps is pretty cool, this is my first "smartphone" so i am sure i havent put it through the paces by many peoples comparisons however the SU crowd has me exited for its potential

i dont know about sprint radio or tv as i dont use those services, i DO stream npr directly to windows media player on it and that is stupendous, still trying to figure out how do get espnradio on it :) sound out the speakers is great for music tv i usually use it to fall asleep in lieu of a clock radio (at 5% volume and its almost too loud), and im not a big talker or internet browser, my email and on demand settings are all manual so battery life has not become and issue

Uhm, is there any Sprint Smart phone that I can edit Microsoft without have to pay extra money for the mobile office software?

How much would it cost for that software?

Will Instinct be able to edit Microsoft?

how important is that ability to you? other then that the centro should be good for you.

The Centro has Docs-to-Go, which is an awesome app. I don't know if the OP wants WinMo, but if it's not necessary, I really think the Centro would fit the bill.

What is Docs to go?
Can you see whether Centro could open these 2 websites
www.metrotransit.com
www.mangafox.com
I will mainly use internet to open these 2 websites. I have had issues to open these 2 with Sanyo and Samsung. I wonder if Centro would work

The Treo 800w (http://www.everythingtreo.com/news/hardware/more-sprint-treo-800w-photos-leak-coupled-with-july-13th-release-date-20080605625/) is said to be coming on July 13. Can you wait for that?

[tramchip]

is it better than the current treo?

[ghettocowboy248]

the 800w is pretty much the windows mobile version of the centro. so think 700wx in a smaller form, and maybe some upgrades. i havent been keeping up with the 800w much so im not sure if it will be running wm 6 or 6.1

I opened both sites with my Centro and it worked fine. You can always try out a phone for 30 days, ya know?
