That change (there was a long thread on it) will make zero difference in
the rate yoy get from the network.

As I understand it ShortMail is a form of email, that goes through
Sprint's Servers and requires you to be online to send or receive. SMS
is phone to phone.

What Phillie already said basically. 2-Way SMS is based right on the
phone itself, while Shortmail exists online. It's like the
difference between your ISP's email or your work email that you use
Outlook (or whichever email application is in use), and, for example,
Yahoo! Mail that you use a web browser to read. As with Shortmail,
you have to actually be online to use. More like your ISP, your 2-
Way SMS runs off a client program put into the phone, just as
Outlook, Eudora, or whatever exists on the PC.

Other than the rubberized coating and the SMS capability, is there
anything else you prefer about the 7300? I know of no other difference,
did I miss something?

If I may ask, how was the swap accomplished? Private party, SprintPCS store,
retail store? I may want to swap in the near future and would like to know
how this is done.

It can be done at any store that sells Sprint PCS products... or you can
buy an unactivated phone and do a swap (known as an ESN swap) over a
landline phone or by calling *2 on the phone you are swapping *from*.
You will need the serial number of the new phone you are switching to.
I have had a couple swaps done previously at Radio Shack as well as a
Sprint PCS affiliate store.
