I think the 8300 is specific to Verizon, don't think you can activate it outside its network. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frederick" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 1:48 AM Subject: Re: sprint cell phone question Hi I did some research tonight and according to the sales people I can buy a lg-vx8300 through Verizon. Has any one had experience with the talking GPS part of this phone? It sounds fascinating! Unfortunately I wasn't able to find this phone on the sprint website and neither could the sprint sales person. I am still working on that angle Does anyone know if I could buy the phone from Verizon and just activate it with sprint? I might be able to have the best of both worlds.
