No Windows mobile support for Mobile NFL?
Posted by John Hatfield on 08/14/06 in Rants
I was recently very excited when I saw instructions on downloading the new NFL Mobile application from Sprint. It said text NFL to 7777 and await a link to download the application. A few minutes later I got a familliar reminder of the constant lack of support from carriers in giving us Windows Mobile users access to premium content such as ringtones, screen savers or in this case Mobile NFL.
The message said that "my handset was not currently supported". I suppose after all of my years of using these devices I should have expected it, but come on, it’s the NFL we’re talking about here. Not to mention the fact that we are on the cusp of a great fantasy football season. I guess they assume that because we have data access we would not want the option to buy there content.
I was sure I was not the only person out there who felt this way, and I was right. After a little looking around I found a fellow group of disenfranchised ppc-6700 owners. They had begun calling and emailing the poor sprint employee who was unlucky enough to have his number listed on the press release for NFL mobile. My understanding is that he eventually replied stating "that they are working on future support for our devices". As of today I still have no NFL mobile.
So the message is…. Support our $500+ multimedia devices with THE LATEST MULTIMEDIA!!!
