Yehhh.. im really sorry if this has been mentioned here somewhere.. but so far i havent seen it around here, being that im fairly new to this specific site..

anyways. Ive have seen everywhere that the NON-Sprint Version of the TOUCH/VOGUE has wifi... but our very own SPRINT Touch does not.. is this the Only difference that our Touch has from others? ive checked out various other online stores that sell the Unlocked version and mentioned in the "Specs" that it has Wifi... Just making sure, cuz if so, ill pay extra for tha extra feature, n also would i activate the phone the same way i would with the sprint version? or could i go to any Carrier?.. cuz i know sometimes USA gets kind of tha downgraded(aka shit) version of many things.. just like how Europe has the TyTn and what not, with the extra Video Call Camera up front where as our version does not.. So i was hoping someone here can tell me if there are differences the touch. Thanks Much guys.

simple answer to this you are cdma through sprint and the unlocked are gsm meaning that they use a sime card so you wont be able to use them.... you have to go with the vogue through sprint and not have the wifi if you want the phone.

Oh ok so im assuming the unlocked Touch's do come with Wifi, but just wouldnt be able to Work with sprint, correct?.. well yeh bcause my friend was the one that really wanted to know because he wants a Vogue too.. i mean of course i will have to keep what i have, but my friend loves his wifi like a fat kid loves cake, but just to clearify, IF he did get the Unlocked GSM phone(sim card).. he would only be able to go to carriers that uses the Sim card such as AT&T and Tmobile correct? thanks bro

yes he could only use the ones that use sim cards. they use a whole different network and types of towers. and there is no way to activate a gsm phone through a cdma provider since you wouldnt get any signal and it wouldnt work with their computer system.

So pretty much hes forced to only go to Tmobile or AT&T ect, if he gets tha gsm unlocked version... but if he wants to go to a CDMA provider such as Sprint, he would have to get the actual Sprint Cdma Version of the Touch. right?. thats pretty much what im hearing..

And so I believe your with Sprint right? i mean just seeing some of your youtube videos, you have the Mogul, Touch, but from what ive heard a few other ones as well... and those phones are all from Sprint i assume.. Just really curious, but which phone is like your "Best" or primary one? or do they all have their individual uses for you?

the mogul is my primary phone...... an yes bro as said above to work on sprint you need sprint. if you want to work on gsm than get an unlocked one.
