WiMax San Antonio TX

Thanks to a portable battery used to recharge my EVO on the go,  I can go all day without running out of battery power on my Sprint EVO.   I first learned about this device while reading my favorite EVO website, www.GoodandEVO.net.   

G&E Webmaster Jenn K. Lee did a very complete review of the Splash Intense 54oo mAhr portable battery that has 2 USB ports for charging devices or running them, and a single micro USB port for inbound charging.

The Splash Intense comes with a retractable USB cable and a handful of different tips compatible with various cell phones and media players.

This morning, we were the third customer in line for a new Sprint EVO phone at 6am.  We went to Radio Shack located next to HEB near Bandera Rd and Loop 1604 on the NW side of San Antonio.  We had double checked the day before to confirm their hours, and their inventory availability.    They actually opened the doors 5 minutes early for us.   We were greeted by a half dozen friendly, but anxious, Radio Shack employees and their manager, plus 2 Sprint representatives.   No breakfast tacos or donuts, but they had phones available for sale!

Sprint’s computer network was overloaded fast.  Rudy, the RS employee helping me, had to grab a cordless phone from the back (cause all the corded phones were in use by other RS employees) and hold it between his head and shoulder while he listened to instructions from Sprint customer care, and typed on his computer.  We had to upgrade our existing plan, transfer all the discounts and other features over to the new plan, etc.

When done, Rudy showed me how to install the battery, turned it on, let it synch with the Sprint network and it automatically ran 3 updates.   (Later in the morning, it did another system update also.)   When done, he handed it to me, and pointed me over to Richard, the Sprint Rep who was helping those of us who had never used an Android based phone before.
