Larry,

I have used a Motorola Razr and am currently using a Motorola Krzr. Sprint
phones are not "Brew Phones". Opera Mini is really a great application
especially since the latest release that allows you to easily browse normal
non-wap webpages. Sprint has great roaming agreement with Alltel and Alltel
provides excellent coverage. It is also a well known fact that Sprint
provided the best roaming of any cell phone provider. Therefore, there is
more of a chance that my Sprint phone will get a usable signal wherever I am
located in the USA.
