Cheapest Sprint w/Google Earth

OK what is the cheapest and more important SIMPLEST phone I can get on Sprint that will also do Google Earth? This is for my dad who just uses a regular flip phone but wants Google Earth when he's out and about (he is enthralled with that program). I don't want to confuse him and I don't want to waste my $$ on a bunch of features he'll never use and might scare him away in the first place.

Guy at Bestbuy says Intercept, but I don't necessarily want to buy a current phone, I'm thinking cheap used thing that works.

If you are buying on contract upgrade you can get Intercept for 5$ at like wirefly..if you are buying retail...maybe a windows mobile phone or a pixi off ebay?

well Google Earth in the begining ONLY worked on iPhone 3gs, NEXUS ONE, and the orginal Moto Droid.. Google Earth for mobile the 3 devices are still pictured even.. i know theyve expanded since though

are you sure Goggle Earth will run on an intercept?? your gonna have to goto a store and play with one and see if its in the Market... or atleast load m.google.com/earth and just make sure before you order the phone.. they may not be as selctive as they used to be, i just know in the begining Google Earth was very limited

Good to know... I wonder if it does.. it is an android (which is google right?). hmm does it run on the epic?

It runs on the epic and should run on anything that has over 1ghz. I would suggest the hero but the lag with annoy him.
