Of course it seems only to be for certain phones. I wouldn't consider spending $249 for software that the flippin' phone manufacturer should install if nothing else upon request or have the provider of the service do it. Hell you can download ring tones and crap to the phone so the software should be easily downoaded when you get the contract and should be paid for by the provide. My thoughts only of course. Paying a little something is more reasonable than $249 for sure...geez!!!
