Can anyone interpret the error message "0x1102" on the Handspring Treo 300?

My Handspring Treo 300 smartphone (smart, yeah, right, whatever) operates (when it chooses to) with Sprint service (or lack thereof). Today, again, it is useful only as a paperweight. Can anyone with more cellphone knowledge interpret the error message "0x1102"? More (but never on Sundays) within.
This happens just alladamntime on weekends, and I'm getting pissy about it.
When I flip it open, it shows my 1-touch contacts page and says, "No service."
When I try to make an outgoing call (to e.g. retrieve my voicemail), it says, "No Service. Your phone is out of coverage. Redial?" If I choose the "yes" option, it repeats the error message. If I choose "no" it goes back to that ever-hopeful 1-touch contacts page.
When I dial this phone's number from someone else's phone, it doesn't ring but instead rolls immediately to voicemail.
When I try to fetch email, it tries to connect and then gives the error message, "Network is busy, unavailable or data is not enabled. (0x1102)"
Checking the log after this reveals, "START MANUAL 05/22/04 The network is busy, unavailable or data is not enabled. Could not open the network library. Perhaps this device does not support network communications. DURATION: 1:34 END 05/22/04"
The good news is it was working Friday; I synched it Friday night; it is fully charged; and all my contacts, calendars, and add-on apps seem to be there.
Googling (see first result) suggests this is a Sprint network issue, but since no one at Sprint says so, I remain mystified and, well, speechless. Is my phone toast (again) or is this, as I suspect, Sprint's network failure? If I can remain calm through being forcibly detached from the outside world at least until Monday, will this state of incommunicado just go away, or should I plan now to reorganize my Monday around spending several hours at the Sprint Store trying to get a new Treo?
(Uh... no... they arenot going to give me a Treo 600, no matter what. Much sadness ensues.)

Response by poster: Network congestion or no coverage
Too many subscribers are online and all the data ports on the local cell are busy. Try again later.
So it's Saturday and I should wait. For $60+/month, I should never want to talk to anyone on a Saturday.
Thanks, gluechunk. At least I know it's not just me.
I hate Sprint. Apologies to all the world for venting.

yeah, on various carriers, I would get "network busy"s all the time during peak hours -- like, around 5-6 pm, when everyone got out of work.
haven't had those problems yet with t-mobile, I'm happy to say.

Both my girlfriend and I have Treo 300s, and we use Sprint in San Diego. We've never gotten this error message. Or any error message actually.
And we've used the phones all over the country. Data (web, email) is a problem if we're out of Sprint's area, but the phones still work fine. The only places I've gotten "no service" are places I wouldn't expect to get service anyway. Like Death Valley.
Have you gone to some other city and tried the phone?
I would say that your phone is poopy. Or maybe Sprint coverage is crap where you are.

Response by poster: Still no service, and I'm still not certain whether it's the phone that's poopy or whether it's Sprint. I've been all over the city today and it didn't work anywhere else, either.
The phone worked fine (both voice and data) last week in northern Arizona.

Response by poster: Follow-up, in case anyone ever searches the archives:
Sprint gave me a new phone.
After 3 days of No Service the battery started giving up, going from fully charged to almost depleted in 4 hours or less. Probably was a battery issue all along.
Thanks again.
