I just got 700wx but one question.

[ezrenew]

Hi,
I actually had X51v last 1 year, so I feel not too hard to using this 700WX.
But I found that I never seen before..

Do I pay or spending any minutes if I use "EV" system to connect to web?

Thanks

If you don't have a Vision/Power Vision plan ($15 per month) you will be charged $0.02 per kb.

And it racks up very quickly... so I recommend getting the plan ASAP!

I don't have any vision plan.

So, which one is working with 700w?

Sprint PCS Vision Pack $15
Sprint Power Vision Access Pack $15
Sprint Power Vision Plus Pack $20
Sprint Power Vision Ultimate Pack $25

Could you please, explain me whats different between all of those?

And I actually have wireless LAN at my home.
So I can use PPC 6700, x51v and my laptop with LAN line.
Is there anything that I can use wifi from 700WX?

Thanks.

The Sprint Power Vision Access Pack is what you need. Don't bother getting the higher priced ones because the extra features don't work with our phones.

I use a Socket E300 SDIO card that I've had for a couple of years on my 700wx. They have the P300 now, which looks like it only adds 802.11g to the mix:

Honestly, none of these devices are really fast enough to keep up with a 802.11b connection, so you don't HAVE to buy a g card. I think the fastest cards they have are 133x now, and that transfers at about 20mb/s. Most cards are 66x, which is about 11mbs, which is the speed of 802.11b. So even if you got a g card, you won't be able to physycially move that much over the SDIO bus.

But you can't use a b device on a g network without slowing down the entire network to b speeds right? I guess that would be the reason to get a g card.

Go ahead and and get the powervision plan - trust me being able to get data/email/news/ect everywhere has its advantages.

Yes, I am going to get the Sprint Power Vision Plan $15 per month.

It's money, but sounds good that I can use EV everywhere.

Thanks guys.

You can use b devices on g networks and still keep the network at g speeds. The b device will only connect at 11Mbps but everything else stays at 54Mbps.

I have it setup like that at home...

actually if u play to use the picture mail hack on the 700wx get the $20 one as you will be charged for sending pictures. If you send the pictures via outlook then your fine....

How about PPC-6700?
What kind of package do I need?
because some extra features don't work with 6700 either.

Thanks
