“Bringing popular social networking communities to Sprint phones allows Sprint customers to keep up with their busy social lives whenever and wherever they want to,” said Kevin Packingham, vice president of wireless product management for Sprint. “Sprint is excited to be working with the leading social networking site to meet our customers’ desire for fast, easy mobile access to their MySpace profiles.”

The rich feature set for MySpace Mobile on Sprint phones includes:

• Reading, composing and replying to Mail Sprint customers don’t have to wait until they are in front of a computer to read and reply to their MySpace messages. From their Sprint phones, they have the ability to send messages to their MySpace friends, read and reply to messages sent to them, as well as view and manage friend requests.
• Viewing Photo Albums MySpace Mobile allows Sprint customers to view their MySpace photo albums by simply clicking “My Photos” from the MySpace Mobile Home screen.
• Viewing Friends Sprint customers can view their own friends or their friends’ friends by clicking on the friend list of any MySpace profile. Each friend page displays a profile picture, mood and status and additional information that the user provided.
• Searching for Friends MySpace Mobile allows Sprint customers to search for people by entering their email address, and to send them friend invites with one click. Customers will also have the ability to look through invites that are pending approval.
• Posting Comments or Blog Entries MySpace Mobile allows Sprint customers to post new blog entries and make comments to other users’ blogs or MySpace profile pages. To post a blog or comment, Sprint customers simply click on “My Blog” from the MySpace Home screen, and then click “Post New Blog” to create the entry. Users can save their work at any time, and any information entered will update both the mobile and online MySpace profile pages.
