CHIFT (CDMA Shift) is a phone as well?

[mixmaven]

I ordered one of these little wonders and wondered if I can turn it up as a phone so I can subscribe to the reduced phone w/ data plan, not the $59.99 or $79.99 data only plan.

My primarly line is GSM, but my office uses sprint so they would be paying for the data/voice on the shift sort of giving me a backup phone.

Thanks!

I don't know for a fact that the CDMA version can't work as a phone, but I seriously doubt it. However, there's nothing to stop you putting a SIM for a voice/data plan in the device and just using it for the data component (assuming your raison d'etre is to save money!).

To answer my own question: I just received the cdma shift and it cannot be used for voice service on the sprint network, data evdo only. skype yes.
