Sprint Phones - Best For iSync and Music

It's time for a new cell phone. I've seen lists of phones that "could" work with my Mac, but I am asking all those users out there, what is the best Sprint phone that will work with my Mac, iSync and also where I can put my music on it. Are there reviews out there with suggestions?
I'd love to have an iPhone, but we don't even have and AT&T store around here and I heard the service is horrible. I really would love to have a cell phone that works with my Mac. Please throw me any help or suggestions!
Thanks
Mike

As Sprint/Nextel—like Verizon—is primarily a CDMA carrier, your choices are limited.
To begin with, no Nextel iDEN mobile handset is supported by iSync. CDMA mobile handsets commonly offered under the Sprint segment do not use industry-standard SyncML or other protocols, are are therefore not supported by iSync.
Your best bet is to choose a smartphone: one powered by the Blackberry, Palm or Windows Mobile OS, and use a third party product like the Missing Sync application which matches the operating system of your device.
Sprint is set to release the Palm Pre, a rather revolutionary touch device somewhat like the iPhone, but which uses Palm's new Linux based kernel. It is quite likely to be supported by a yet unreleased product from Mark/Space.

  • After i upgrade  to a new phone, will my old 4s still continue to work on wifi for apps and music? or do I need phone service?

    after i upgrade  to a new phone, will my old 4s continue to work on wifi for apps and music only? to be used like an ipod?

    The support article referenced says to insert the SIM Card from my new phone in the old phone.  That won't work since I have an iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S uses a different size SIM card. 
    What do I need to do to get past the "Insert a SIM card" message when I don't have the right size card lying around?

  • How do I set up a new phone number for messaging and facetime on my iPad?

    My iPad has it's own phone number through Verizon.  Before I knew this, I had already set up messages to use my iPhone number.  Now I can't figure out how to set up the iPad phone number for messages and facetime on the iPad.

    Are you trying to message another Apple device?

    If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

  • Firefox no longer creates previews for videos and music posted on my Facebook Timeline

    after its latests update to the Version 32, Firefox no longer creates previews for videos and music posted on my Facebook Timeline. in earlier Firefox versions there was no such problem. it started to happen exactly after its update, and it still works perfectly well in Chrome and other browsers.

    to make it clear, just look at the picture attached, which describes the process of posting the same video on my Facebook Timeline in Firefox and in Chrome:

  • Use phone for calendar and music without registering?

    I had an iphone given to me and plan on activating when my current term with Sprint expires in Aug. However, the treo I have been using died and need a calendar and was wondering what steps, if any, I needed to use to use the iphone, without the phone, for its calendar and ipod capabilities. I am on a family plan with 6 phones and do not want to pay sprint $1200 to cancel early and would like to start using the iphone as a calendar. can it be done, and if so, what do I need to do,
    Thanks

    Until you activate the phone, none of the features are available for use. You could just terminate your phone line on the family plan for now rather than the whole plan.

  • Trying to update iphone 3GS. I use it only for apps and music. It will not allow me to update through itunes? What do I do?

    I have a iphone I do not use as a phone anymore. I use the apps and the music on it though. I downloaded itunes and I am trying to update the phone so I can purchase music and apps for it. When I plug it to the computer it starts syncing and runs a good 20 minutes and then I get an error saying it cannot update and it takes me to a update repair page that does nothing to help. Can someone help me on what to do? I have my own itunes account, I have wi-fi, I have all the songs on my phone I purchased but I cant get it to sync with itunes at all. I can do nothing. Is this usual? Can I do something so I can still use the phone as a Ipod putting new stuff on it or am I stuck with all the old stuff and I can never add anything on it? HELP

    To be exact the error says the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured (-1). What is that?

  • Everything works on phone except for SMS and MMS

    I just activated my Droid Razr Maxx after breaking my previous phone. I followed the instructions for activation and the phone appeared to be working just fine. I can make phone calls, surf the internet using WiFi or 4G, use Facebook, download apps, etc. Everything is working great on my phone except for texting, which includes regular text messages as well as multimedia messages. If I send an SMS I get an error message saying "Unable to send msg! Retry sending?" and if I try to send a picture message I get a message saying "Invalid Destination Address." If I try to send a text to myself from the Verizon website I get an error saying that the "Message is undeliverable." I also understand that people can't text me from their phones. I've tried various fixes like *228, rebooting my phone, deleting all my text history, but nothing seems to work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    I think Cody is Correct as for there are Allot of Critical an Non Critical Settings there a C.S.R can give you the Best Guidance Because they can got into your Account With you an point out were to Enable things or Disable things. So you might give them a Call they close Down Operations at 11:00Pm tonight an Reopen at 6:00 in the Morning..b33 Good luck

  • Unable to sync contacts and calendar to my Blackberry since installing Maverick (worked before).  Hunted all over for iSync and it can't be found?

    Ok so what have you done with iSync in Maverick?
    I have a Blackberry Curve 9320 and until I "upgraded" to maverick I was able to sync my calendar and contacts using Blackberry desktop.  Now I see the error sync service disabled.  Looking on your help there doesn't seem to be anything that tells me how to enable sync ..
    However, hunting around I can find sync services but am unable to do anything with them - i.e. no preferences, etc.
    I've looked at your "Advanced" help and the help refers to earlier versions of OSX.

    Dear Friend!
    You are not alone! and im also got the same feeling with you!
    what a "BIG" company with a poor customer service! everytime you read from other's complaint, the so-called Administrator or BlackBerry Technical Advisor would ask you to "contact your mobile service provider and have them engage BlackBerry support for live investigation, diagnosis, and resolution. "!
    that mean no answer for your, go away?!
    i used Q10 for a month with my icloud account for calendar and contact.. after few days of "honeymoon", the sync suddenly failed! and no more cal sync, and even the contact is.... sigh.... totally messly!
    and you will find that... no help from BB, no advise from BB, (may be the said advise is the best answer from BB), no one cares the issue.
    Yes! i agree with you! the keyboard is great!!! some of the new features are wonderful.... but those basic function.... hahaha!! no more!
    I feel very disappointed to BB and go back to my ip5... but i keep the q10 in my room... i'm still waiting one day, the bugs are fixed...
    just a sharing with you, and you are not the only one... 
    Cheers.... 

  • When i turned my phone on every picture and music file is now gone

    when I try to restore from my cloud it says I already have it but its nowhere on phone. Nobody has been able to give me an answer!!!

    This is not cool speedy007! Let's explore ways to find those precious memories! If you login to your Verizon Cloud on a computer, do you see all your pictures and music files online? Did this issue start after installing/updating any application/software?
