Does anyone have this phone? If so, what do you think about it? I heard that any sports stuff you want to keep track of (games in progress) use up your monthly minutes. Is this correct? If so, big fantasy guys could use up a ton of minutes in a matter of days. If anyone has any experience with this phone, please reply as to your feelings towards it.

In the future I'd post this in general talk so that I can see it quicker and you can read my comment and be satisfied for the day.
I don't have it.. I don't trust cell phones that have more features then just phone.
What I would do is get a phone that has wireless internet ability when you are in say a coffee shop or anywhere in the world basically
Where is "general talk"???? According to the title, Leftovers is for anything that does not fit into a specific category ala an ESPN phone. Sorry it bugged you.
I don't have it and while I would take it for free , it doesn't really seem worth it and seems more like a gimmick than anything else. Unless you're stranded in a desert (in which case you probably won't even get service), I don't think you'll be too far away from a TV or computer where you'll need urgent sports info. My Nextel gets box scores and news for free, so I'm fine with that.
I have it and I love it. The pricing for my plan was pretty outrageous at first, but within a month or so, they came up with new plans and pricing and let me switch to the one I wanted at no cost. Plus you can't beat the free year of ESPN magazine that comes with it. And nothing beats hearing the Baseball Tonight scoring update gingle in your pocket when something happens in your favorite team's game.

I almost got this the other day but the local Sprint store doesn't have it yet and I'm locked under contract with Nextel until 8/07 so I can't just go to Best Buy =\.

general talk is way down at the bottum. its intended for non-baseball things. baseball leftovers is intended for baseball related things that dont fit into the other categories. not a big deal, just for future reference.

how much are the plans?
I think the plan I'm on is $40 a month for 400 minutes, the ESPN Phone service stuff, internet browser, 100 Text messages, a year of ESPN Magazine and Insider access on ESPN.com.

Thoughts on what that guy said? That's my main concern as well.
