Consistant Sprint Updates were always hard to find. And even more so, many Sprint 6035 owners always had problems with unlocking there phones as well.

The 6035 phone is the same across the board, no matter what Cellular Co. used it. The firmware is what made the internal connection differences.

You could take someone's Sprint phone and use it on Verizons network. The problem lies now, after 2/18/2008 that Verizon (and likely others as well), won't activate the phone do to the "so called" GPS locater requirements.

It just depends upon whom you talk to who's willing as well.

Take care in activating your phone with Sprint, as some time back, they were charging an additional monthly fee for supporting older CDMA phones.

Don't know if they've done away with that garbage, but just an FYI in the meantime.
