 Enjoy streaming multimedia via Sprint's Power Vision Network with the colorful Sanyo SCP-8400. |
Sprint's music service is another EV-DO-powered service that makes the M510 all the more desirable. With the Sprint Music Store, your phone is a music player, letting you buy, download, and then jam out wherever you are with new songs or old favorites. Offering a growing selection of more than 1.6 million songs, the store provides you two copies of each song--one for the phone and another for the PC, as well as the ability to burn songs to a CD using Windows Media Player. Save your songs to a memory card with a capacity that's right for you. You can even pause to take a call without missing a beat.
With the optional Sprint PCS Ready Link service, you can use this phone's two-way, walkie-talkie-style communication feature across the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. As long as family, friends, or co-workers have a compatible Sprint PCS phone with Sprint PCS Ready Link service, you can call anyone, anywhere. And with the optional Wireless Backup service from Sprint, you can automatically store your phonebook contacts on the Sprint network, allowing them to be instantly updated in the event your phone is lost, stolen, or replaced. It also allows you to manage your phonebook contacts through a Sprint web page.
