I don't know about that, I don't live in Sprint-land (I use it on the Orange network).

It has a lot to like, though : not very expensive, slim and compact (bit heavy maybe), tethers just fine with tablets of course, supports 3G+. It also has Wifi and SIP, and is more natural than tablets for VoIP use.

As an E-series it complements nicely the N8x0 in what they don't/won't do : calendar, mobile Office and whatnot.

And of course Symbian/S60 also supports Python, which is another can of worms :-)
