For lords sake its opera. If I tether using my nextel or boost I can type a freaking 100 page book if I want. Opera mini has a limited amout of charactors that can be send. Get on a i580 ,v950, or palm centro with opera mini. You can type so many charactors then they stop letting you put more in .

PM me with your number and I'll call you and help you get it sorted out.

What servicebooks did you use? I found that the mms_wifi browser it will only show hotspot browser but if I use the combined3/workingservicebooks (same thing) then it will show, but I need to switch between browser and hotspot browser..

Do a search in the Boost CDMA subforum, there is a list of the Sprint phones that willl work on Boost Mobile CDMA. Thanks so much! There is no harm in asking...thank you for being sweet. You rock.
