Sprint may not have NFL Mobile anymore, but it has a much bigger sports line-up with live sports programming and entertainment from ESPN Mobile TV. The line up for the next couple of months include over a 100 live events:
23 Live Men's NCAA Basketball Games (including Conference Championship games)
19 Live Women's NCAA Basketball Championship Games
9 NBA Playoff Games
15 Regular Season NBA Games
30 Live NBA Fastbreak Shows
10 Regular Season MLB Games
50 Live Baseball Tonight Studio Shows
3 College Football Spring games
3 Live Friday Night Fights
3 Live NCAA Hockey Championship Games
5 Live MLS Matches
Clearly, if you're a March Madness fan it looks like a sprint cell phone will keep you up on all the events - even let you catch games while on-the-go. If you don't have a data plan ESPN Mobile TV will cost $0.03/KB. That can add up pretty quickly and Sprint's Everything plans offer basically everything so you can watch all the ESPN Mobile TV you want and not worry about the pricing.

The Verizon Razzle may not have the slickest display we've seen on a messaging cell phone to date, but it does have something else: a really interesting design. It transforms itself from being a cell phone with a fully QWERTY keyboard to becoming a portable music player. The Razzle cell phone isn't just a messaging phone, but it's actually a music phone that's all about the sound. It has one of the best speakers we've encountered to date. Watch the video below to see what we mean and if you want even more information, read the expert review by clicking this link.
