3g and yes it has a 5 gig limit
Edit: Sorry jb4kats: Missed the reference to Overdrive. Agreed, that does have a 5GB limit. Phones don't.
Source?
Here's another one saying phones are
not subject to the 5GB limit. Only phones as modems and data cards.
"Roni Singleton, a Sprint spokeswoman:
Singleton said
the plan won't affect traditional phone users with unlimited data plans who might rack up some serious bandwidth watching Sprint TV."
Nothing here about a 5GB cap:
"Everything your phone, PDA or smartphone can do nationwide - unlimited text, surf, email, listen, watch, find and of course, talk - on one simple plan.
This plan includes
Unlimited data: Web surfing, email, BlackBerry Internet Services (BIS), GPS Navigation, Music Premier, TV Premier, NFL Mobile Live, NASCAR Sprint Cup MobileSM
Unlimited Direct Connect: Direct Connect and Group Connect (for capable phones)
Unlimited messaging: Text, pictures and video
Unlimited talk: Unlimited anytime minutes, nationwide long distance and no roaming charges"
Nothing here about a 5GB cap:
Unlike unlimited plans from the competition, which do not include data services at a $99.99 unlimited price, Sprint's Simply Everything $99.99 plan includes:
Unlimited Web surfing (to receive access to the Internet right from the phone)
Unlimited e-mailing (to send and receive emails from multiple accounts)
Unlimited text messaging (to send and receive domestic text messages to any wireless or landline phone)
Unlimited video messaging (to record videos and send them to other phones and email addresses)
Unlimited picture sharing (to take photos and upload them to an online account or to send to other phones, email addresses or printers)
BTW: The CNET article in my previous post is a blog. The first entry on 5/21/08 asserted a 5GB cap, the second article on 5/27/08 clarified after contacting Sprint the 5GB cap
does not apply to native phone data usage.
