Device #7 Arrives in the Mail

Well, device #7 arrived today. It's a replacement to the Treo Pro that I picked up a little over a week ago. This phone replaces a device that always showed zero bars. Not very helpful. With that said, the most bars I've seen this new device display has been two. Hmmm.

I called in to Sprint at 5:04pm to start the activation process. Surprisingly, I got through to Patrice within 3 minutes. Unfortunately, Patrice was not able to activate remote, but she was able to pull up the instructions and walk me through a manual activate (##220254# on the Treo Pro). At 5:16pm, I made my first test call and the voice worked. As always, Patrice told me that it would be an hour for text and data to provision.

It's now 5 hours later, and I still don't have data on the device. The Pro tries valiantly to connect, but fails each time. The only message I receive is "page cannot be displayed." I'll give it overnight to provision, and call in tomorrow if not. I'll be sure to post connectivity updates soon.
