Get Your Device Ready

Sprint is committed to developing technologies that give you the ability to get what you want when you want it, faster than ever before. This booklet introduces you to the basics of getting started with Sprint and your new Samsung Galaxy Tab™. As you’ll quickly discover, it’s easy to customize with apps from Android Market™, browse the Web at 3G speed, send email, text, or picture messages, watch movies or TV programs, get turn-by-turn driving directions, or connect up to ﬁ ve Wi-Fi devices to the Internet with Sprint Hotspot. Because there’s less waiting, and more doing, on the Now Network.™

The services described in this guide may require a subscription to a service plan and/or may incur additional charges. Not all services will work on all devices. Coverage is not available everywhere. See www.sprint.com/coverage for more details.
