Check this out - the upcoming Nextel i880. Almost as thin as a RAZR, but
still iDEN with GPS and DC.

Looks very cool to me! Hopefully this isn't old news, but I've never seen it before.

Eh, I'll have to disagree. Sprint has to have a signal in order for their voice quality to be good. All it does here is roam, as to Nextel, which is full scale and sounds like a landline phone.

well idk where youre are, but here in Metro-Detroit area, nextel drops calls, has slurring, echos, etc. When i migrated to sprint, it was like a gift from god. It all really depends on where you live

I am in a rural area in north central Ohio, at least 8 miles from a Nextel tower, and Nextel is perfect all around here. A friend with Sprint showed me his phone. If it had any service at all, it was analog or digital roam. No actual Sprint PCS, and it is like that all around here. That is why I hope S/N improves their CDMA coverage before they migrate us off iDEN, or else I'll be switching carriers. But yes, you are right, it all depends where you are. No carrier is perfect. Most people seem to think Verizon is, but truly, it drops calls and cuts out in places where Nextel is perfect, around here anyway. It's far from perfect, heh.

Yeah, looks pretty cool eh? Especially for Nextel. I LOVE the service and have no complaints, but I just wish they were more up-to-date on phone technology. Then again, Nextel originally started as a dispatching company.

I'll bet they found him by now, and I'll also bet that they're not too happy with him. We all know how they like to keep things secret...he he.
