Sprint may finally be using that GPS capability they’ve pedaled on their phones for the past 4 years.

For almost as long as I’ve had my phone sprint has been saying they have the ability to track where my phone is should the need ever arise. Every time I’ve asked them what the heck could I use it for, they always told me “well if 911 ever gets the capability, they’ll be able to use the GPS from your phone to find you should you be in an emergency.”

“But they don’t have it yet.”

Great, just another useless feature that I have to pay for. However, Sprint together without support together with nextel might be turning over a new leaf. Or at least a dirty old stick. They announced not too long ago that they are coming out with a local directory cell phone service that will offer information such as driving directions and movie times and other GPS stuff for $2.99 a month.

Super, payed extra for the phone, pay a ton for every vision service there could be, pay some more to cheaply call others being ripped off by sprint, and pay a ton if I want to text message others. Why not add another service that I can shell out some money for, that won’t work at all.

They are calling the service Find It and I’m sure it won’t be able to find much.
