It comes with built-in fucking ADS. We played like three levels of this game called "Monkey Ball" on his phone and after you beat the third (or maybe fourth) level, it actually says "If you like Monkey Ball connect to our website and buy the rest of the levels!"

It's fucked up to upsell people right on their own phones.

Also, he can never ever connect to their server for downloading shit. At least not games.

Yea, I have the basic SprintPCS phone -- the $170 one. It's fucking ridiculous how they charge you ON TOP OF the $10/month PCS fee to download ringers, games, screensavers, etc. I downloaded the Bohemian Rhapsody ringer for $1 -- ouch! And you cannot even preview it before you download it -- it's like buying a membership to a paysite!

That should be included in the price. AIM has been "Coming Soon" since I got the phone 1.5 weeks ago.
