Jeff,

I would love to demonstrate it.  Officially it is discouraged by
sprint, but I don't use it a ton, and I have never had any trouble
with billing issues or anything like that.  If you have had your phone
with sprint for longer than 18 months they will give you a $150 rebate
towards an upgrade with a 2 year contract.  If you get a sanyo phone I
know where to find USB cables.  You should be able to find usb cables
for their other phones with a little googling.
