Hi,
I am not sure about using the Axim with a phone on the Sprint network but I have looked into using the Axim on the network after reading about the features on the Sprint web site and this is what I know.
First you need a Wireless Flash Sprint PCS Connection Card, model # 2031 cost at $229.95
Then you will have to contact Sprint to activate the ESN number which will be activated with a phone number just like your phone.
So far from what I know you can share the minutes on your plan. I looked at people like t-mobile and they have a similar set-up that acts just like a phone as well and has the same type of plan service.
I'll be honest I haven't activated yet becuase I am looking at Boingo instead. I think that the Sprint solution is going to be expensive and I will probably be a consumer ginny pig if I know them.
T-Mobiles WiFi service is restricted to only Starbucks, where Boingo has a much more robust network as it appears.
I am flying to Chicago today and I am going to give Boino a try.
Best of Luck
Markus
