Power Vision - Vision 2.1

Sprint PCS Info is a compilation of news, analysis and information. Likewise, we formed the Vision 2.0 standard around four main features; MIDP 2.0, GPS, 3D, and EV-DO.
Power Vision has MIDP 2.0, GPS, 3D, and EV-DO. We���re glad everything worked out.
While we think the pricing of Power Vision should be the same as Vision, we���re glad Sprint is pushing forward and finishing what we suggested they start.
The key to Power Vision is that it creates a new paradigm, similar to Vision before it. All EV-DO phones will have to have MIDP 2, and 3D support. Phone manufacturers wishing to cram an EV-DO chipset into their budget re-hashes of the Sanyo 4920 will have to face challenges selling the devices in the current marketplace (in other words, Sprint isn���t likely to pick them up anytime soon).
Rather than making EV-DO too much of a premium feature, this shift is likely to force manufacturers to find new ways to cut costs and deliver EV-DO handsets for less, much less. The Motorola E815 is the first ���budget��� EV-DO device (breaking the $99-with-2-year-contract barrier), Power Vision ensures that trend will continue.
So why is Power Vision (PV-class until marketing comes out with something better) different from Vision 2.0? Simple, seamless transition. Multimedia-class phones served to bring all the standards of Power Vision into the Sprint lineup, waiting for EV-DO to solidify them as a standard baseline set of features. Good job Sprint.

(User Info ) | | So will the PocketPC versions require double-payment of Power Vision, like they currently do on EV-DO PocketPC's like the 6600? I see no reason to have to pay double to use a PocketPC... |

(User Info ) | | So wait, how does this affect vision holders who've been grandfathered? Or those with 2000 minute plans that came with free vision packs? |

(User Info ) | | I'm have a consumer account (no business), I have the PPC-6700 in my hands (ordered direct from telesales), and I did not have to upgrade to Power Vision. My regular unlimited Vision plan from 2002 works with my 6700 and I get EVDO. |

(User Info ) | | Where can I download the 20215 PRL for EV-DO devices to upload manually to my PPC 6600. I have Radio HA01_140 and the instructions said not to ask Sprint to automatically update the PRL. |
