\"Sprint<\/p>\n

If you are a customer, or prospective customer of U.S. CDMA operator, Sprint<\/span> or just want to play with the Sprint exclusive Palm Pre<\/em>, you might find this mobile site useful. It lets you quickly locate company owned and independent stores selling Sprint phones and service. A free-form search box accepts a zip-code, street address or city and state. Results include store hours, available services, click to call phone number and a link to text based turn by turn driving directions, which I found accurate. An advanced search form lets you restrict results to locations offering handset repairs, bill payment or having Spanish speaking staff.<\/p>\n

The only thing I didn’t really like about the Sprint site was the map feature. The driving directions include a link to a .gif file showing the route on a map. Because it’s a file link rather than a page containing an \"\" <img> tag, many handsets will prompt the user to download the map rather than displaying it in the browser. The maps are 500×400 px and around 100 KB in size, unnecessarily large for most phones. The maps are not zoomable or panable and unless you are within a couple miles of the store, are not detailed enough to be useful. I’d prefer a link to Google or Bing’s mobile driving directions which include zoomable, scalable maps sized to the handset’s screen.<\/p>\n
