Dual-mode phone and coverage issue
There was a news article concerning a Motorola dual mode phone that seems to be coming to Sprint: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphon...oval-18 4778.php
Rumor is that the voice portion of the phone will only operate on CDMA and use iDEN for Direct Connect only. If this is indeed the case, when this phone is released, and again, in previous posts, it was slated for around October, will the voice coverage for CDMA exist in Nextel only areas?
Hopefully Sprint done some homework and added CDMA panels in areas where there is Nextel service only, so that it makes it easier for Nextel customers when it's time to upgrade and offer this phone. If not, then at least in my area, you would be roaming on Alltel most of the time.
