Review: Kyocera DuraXT for Sprint
Finally a match for the old Moto iDEN phones?
It sounds like this phone gets better reception and better audio quality and louder speaker than its predecessors. I know the first few Kyocera Sprint DC phones didn't have the greatest voice quality. Glad to see Sprint is upping their game for those die-hard iDEN users who won't give up their old Motorola bricks. I know I had a hard time giving up my i530! Looks like this would be a decent replacement. Especially now that the iDEN network is doomed come 2013 âšī¸ Nice review by the way!

Agreed, it is a good review and it sounds like Sprint & Kyocera are trying to correct the shortcomings/defects of the original models intended to replace the Motorola Nextel phones.
I still dislike the fact that the Kyocera phones when set to One-Touch DC require two touches (because the first touch only brings them out of screensaver mode), whereas the Motorola iDEN DC phones truly are one touch capable. Also very irritating was the fact that the clock on the DuraPlus can not be set to 24-hr mode (of course all Nextel Motorola phones have been 24-hr-clock capable for almost two decades). Too bad Sprint decided to put all their eggs in one basket with Kyocera being the only one making the ruggedized phones, shutting Motorola out of creati...

I too have noticed that my Nextel's performance has improved in the last three months; I live in the Southeastern portion of the USA.
How's it going, by the way?
Things are fine, thanks for asking. You?
I recall you work for a large company that ran on Nextel (or at least used to). What's their plan going forward after iDEN shuts down next summer?

With any luck they will have even better phone options by next summer for you as fast as this industry moves đ
