Devices
View the software specifications for all production handsets sold by Sprint that include Mobile Java, browser and multimedia capabilities.

Technologies
For all supported mobile development platforms (ex. Windows Mobile, Mobile Java, Mobile Web, RIM Blackberry, etc) Sprint provides a variety of resources that includes development software , developer guides and sample applications to assist in the creation of mobile content optimized to run on Sprint handsets.

Device Activation
Now that you have created your application using the Sprint Developer Tools and tested them with the SDK emulator, its time to deploy them on the handset for real use. Certain features and APIs - multimedia, location services, File and Contact Book access, require that the application is digitally signed and downloaded to a trusted domain on the handset.

Upload Your Content
To enable testing OTA downloads to your CDMA handset, Sprint provides free access for third party developers to utilize the "Total Uploader" web server that allows the OTA download testing of most binary content including: Mobile Java, Ringers, Screensavers, Palm PRC files, Windows Mobile, Themes and RIM Blackberry content.

Application Testing
Sprint has partnered with Mobile Complete to provide the Virtual Developer Lab, powered by Device Anywhere. This Innovative service offers real-time, virtual access to devices on Sprint's CDMA and iDEN networks. You can interact with these handsets exactly like you would if you physically had them in the palm of your hand.
