Information Services on the Web Sprint provides additional information services (available via your data connection), that you can personalize to suit your needs. These features make it easier than ever to retrieve the most popular Web and Category-specific information instantly. The Instinct HD uses both a ZIP code (that you provide to customize the content you receive) and your current GPS location so that you can get the information you want, when you want it. These information services act to customize the device to display a variety of top categories such as News, Sports, Weather, Money, Movies, and more. This information is updated throughout the day, so you'll always be up-to-date. By using the Instinct HD's 128-bit encryption capable browser, you can also securely connect to either a movie website (such as Fandango™, Cinemark™, Moviefone™, etc.) or utilize the device's own movie media Web pages to quickly purchase a desired movie showing near you. Note Go to > Main > Settings > General > Phone Information to view the applications on your device. Initializing Your Information Service 1. Press and touch Web ( ). 2. Touch one of the available Web applications (Live Search, weather.com, CNN, ESPN, Fandango, Bloomberg, or My Account). 3. Select categories and articles to view the information you want. From the Fandango menu you can follow the prompts to get movie locations and showtimes, read reviews, or launch a browser to buy tickets online, on-the-go (not available for all theaters or all showings). 172 3B.
