Just wanted to let everyone know that day 1 will be about September 1st. Also, wanted to say that the gateway will be out in about 6-9 months.

Dual phones for iden (push to talk) and cdma (voice) to come into the marketplace in about a year to a year and a half.

In addition, you would want to pay attention in the September time frame because there will be a huge marketing campaign.

I will continue to update you all so stay tuned and if you guys have any questions please ask.

Nextel,
I was wondering if you know anything about Authorized dealers of Nextel also selling Sprint. According to my rep she said yes. That since we are a tier one company (I think thats what she called it) we will sell Sprints entire lineup. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure if you wanted details or just one-word answers, which is yes and yes, the new sprint-Nextel company is a tier 1 company.

Details aren't necessary. The only reason I was asking was because I've heard nothing from my office. The only time I've heard anything is from my rep.

Any information that I can pass on to you with regarding this matter I will. No talk from your office? Hmm. Unfortunately that isn’t new with mergers but I am sure you will be either hearing it from them or from me. So stay tuned. : with that said, your rep is 100 percent correct with the whole Nextel and sprint situation regarding the stores.

There was a press event and a question and answer session with sprint-Nextel execs and they mentioned this about the affiliates; “merger-related legal issues with its affiliates in the "next several weeks," Chief Executive Gary Forsee said on Tuesday.” And “hopes to have reached decisions on "a path of either acquiring or reaffiliation" in the next several weeks”

I hope that helps all of the subscribers and who sell our products in those markets in this forum and I will try to update this as much as possible.

The street.com is reporting that within the next few weeks that Nextel partners will be bought out for $30 per share or $7 billion dollars, which would bypass the put option, however, these are just rumors and I will fill you guys in if there are any breaking news with nxtp or the other affiliates.
