Sprint ID
Once your device is activated, you have the option of
installing an ID Pack. ID Packs are bundles of
applications, ringtones, wallpapers, settings, and more.
ID Packs are installed using an application called
Sprint ID.
You can install as many as five ID Packs at any one
time, and you can easily switch from one ID Pack to
another without losing any applications already
installed.
For example, when you install the Sprint ID pack, Sprint
applications such as Sprint TV, TeleNav™ GPS
Navigator, NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile, and Sprint
Football Live will remain in your applications.
