So, earlier this week, I blogged about Cellfire, and how it was unavailable for Sprint PCS users (or anyone not on Cingular, for that matter).
Fortunately for me, the rest of my family are all Cingular customers, so they let me use their phone to test out the service.
It’s actually pretty easy. They send a 71kb applet to your phone that you run. Feed it a zip code, and it connects to grab all available offers in your area.
I just need to get my aunt’s phone working, so she can use it on hers. I put it on her husband’s phone at the time. Now, if only Hollywood Video was closer to us… 
I’m expecting to see some great offers pop up around Thanksgiving, though (hint: Get Subway and Quizno’s on the ball next!). It’s gotta be something good to get the ball rolling.
Either way, Cellfire is actually pretty sweet.

Yeah I was dissapointed when I couldn’t use my Sprint phone. I hope they get it added soon!
