Easy as pie.

Nascar and Football:
Send a text to "7777"
-If you want nascar, send a text with the word "nascar" in it
-If you want football, send a text with the word "football" in it

A link will be sent to you from sprint to download the apk. You need to make sure you have unknown sources checked so the apk can install. Menu > Settings > Applications > Unknown sources

TV:
[Only registered users can view links. ] (Thanks Paul627g)
Install the APK.

Nav:
Sprint Navigation can now be found in the market.

Enjoy

I want to put the Sprint NAV on my Nexus S when I get it today but in these instructions I keep seeing put this and that on the SD card. I thought the Nexus S 4G didn't have a SD card. Is that the same thing as a folder on the phone labeled SD card?

yes, despite being built in internal storage, it's stall labeled "sd card" by android.

For the life of me I can't understand.

With a "normal" Sprint phone people cry and whine about all the Sprint bloatware, and they actively seek a root exploit to get rid of it. Now that we got the Nexus - no Sprint bloatware - some can't wait to load the bloatware back on the phone?...

Trust me, I don't get it either. I installed these apps and verified they worked for about 30 seconds then immediately erased. This will hopefully stave off the 2,000 posts in the future though about "ZOMG where my NASCAR!!!".

It's more of a preemptive strike towards keeping the threads clean

It's not the same people - some love Sprintware, and some don't

When I got my first google phone you couldnt pay me to use google nav over Sprint nav. Now 2 years later and tons and tons of google updates, you couldnt pay me to go back to sprint nav

The only app I would be interested in would be the Sprint Nav.

I used Google Nav for the first time today, I like its smoothness.
