Sprint Customer can Get Push Email
I just received an email from Sprint offering Seven Networks Inc. Package SEVEN Consumer Edition and Always-On Mail. Since I have Vision, the package is free.

Hi Solsie,
Do you have Sprint’s Business Connection Software installed on your phone. It seems to be telling me to install it prior to getting this service?
No I don’t have Sprint Buz Connection. The Sprint Mobile Software was installed w/o any problem.
Here’s my dilemna. I don’t have or need the business connect either. When I click on the link you supplied, it says sign in and download.
When I sign in, it takes me to the main page for downloads. I try to search for that program, and nothing comes up?
After I’m signed in, how do I get back to it?
Thanks
I called Sprint and found out how to get it. It’s under Applications, but of course, Sprint is working on the website and I can’t log in!
Thanks for the news on this, sounds great, when I can get to try it…
Where can I download this? I have been searching on the Sprint site all day. When I log in I do not see the application anywhere.
Terry, you follow the link I posted
https://manage.sprintpcs.com/Manage/portal/goTo?action=selectProduct&productId=PCS578405
Sign in if you already have the Sprint Vision ID (xxx@SprintPCS.com) and your Vision password. You will find the link to SMS the link to download the app to your phone.
If you don’t have the Vision ID/PW then you can call Sprint *2 from your cellphone and ask them you SMS to your phone with the link
Forget it for PPC phones. Was just on for an hour with Sprint Support. This program is not designed for ppc phones, that’s why it will not show you it once you are signed in.
Probably It is a Java app. It works well on my Samsung A900M.
I think on the Treo, there is the Java midlet built-in. For other PPC you might want to try the IBM J9 Midlet as mentioned here:

You’ll have to register to download the file. The file you want for a Wizard is listed under “CLDC 1.1/MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile 5.0/ARM”. Get the executable. It’s a large download. Install it and then go to your “C:\Program Files\IBM\WEME\runtimes\61\wm50-arm-midp20″ directory. You want to expand the ZIP file onto your WM5 device in a directory you create yourself (J9\MIDP2 is recommended by IBM). The easiest method for me was to simply plug my MiniSD card into my laptop and unzip the files directly onto my storage card.
Then on your device go to the “bin” directory that you unzipped onto your storage card. Run the “EMULATOR” program. This will allow you to install a MIDLET from any URL (local or online). This is where the fun part is…We need to point it to the GMM JAD file. With my Wizard connected to my laptop via ActiveSync and using the network passthrough connection, I was able to see the exact URL for the JAD file. So in the J9 applet enter: http://www.google.com/gmm/apps/v1.3.1/L1/gmaps-Generic-Advanced_MIDP2_L1.jad
J9 will download the MIDLET and install it. It seems to run a little slower than the Tao JVM included with the Wizard, but at least it works consistently and I’m finally able to use the traffic information.
If this does not work for you then I guess you need Mail2Web or 4Smartphone solutions.
I have FlexMail, but figured if Sprint was supplying a free one. Anyway, the tech said he has the 6700, and it wouldn’t work for him either and that’s WM5.
Only for regular phones with vision.
