Sprint today announced a new mobile web service for its customers, the Sprint Web. The service content is based on the customer’s previous usage and brings direct access to search from Google.
“Sprint customers have always been able to access the Internet on data-capable Sprint phones, and with Sprint Web we’ve made it even easier for them to quickly find the information that they need,” said Kevin Packingham, senior vice president of product and technology development for Sprint. “Sprint Web automatically learns what content the customer likes and puts it on their home page, along with Google search of the full Internet. This allows Sprint customers to get the most from the Internet on their phones even faster, when and where they want to, with the Now Network(TM).”
ChangingWorlds provided its technology for the Sprint Web, which is a global expert in mobile Internet personalization and content discovery technologies. The technology allows customers to quickly get relevant information based on what they use most, so they will get what they like most. Sprint Web is available today on 40+ popular Sprint phones, including RAZR2 by Motorola, Centro by Palm, Rumor by LG, Upstage by Samsung, and Katana DLX by Sanyo, but Sprint already plans to make Sprint Web available on virtually all Web-capable Sprint feature phones over the coming weeks.
Sprint Web and Google search are available at no additional charge to Sprint data subscribers, including customers subscribing to Everything plans such as the $99 Simply Everything(SM) plan, Talk/Message/Data Share plans and data packs.
