Just cause Tim is retiring does not mean nextel is going away. Seriously Nextel is here to stay, why do you think sprint is not pushing ready link, why do you think there releasing hybrid phones, why do you think they added 1600 new cell sites for teh iden network this year, why do you think there spending 2 billion dollars on the Iden network alone. Nextel is not going no where, if anything its just goign to get better with better service, new phones and maybe even EVDO. 😛
