Lets just hope the worked the bugs out cause these 402's and 502's suck major. I love the concept of these phones but motorola dropped the ball in production of the first batch, which I guess you can say that about alot of there phones (RAZR, PEBL, L7, V70) 🤣

Moto always drops the ball on the first line of products... like the Razr, the first batch that came out on verizon sucked and had horrible issues such as battery life or turning on. They've fixed the ic405 and ic502 by the third batch they sent out... no more low battery notices when the battery was fully charged.

Owned,. . .nah. I've got one issued to me from work though (I'm a security guard.)

I don't really use it though, heck, nobody calls me on status check, so there's no point in me turning it on. So it's here @ my apt. collecting dust.

But GSM handsets work PLENTY fine w/o an antenna, at least in my personal experience.

GSM != iDEN

iDEN handsets NEED the external antenna.
Show me a Nextel without one.

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing, it seems as though it's harder for CDMA handsets to go w/o an antenna also. It just seems that way, I could be wrong.

The ic phones have been hit and miss, just like any other phone really. I think the ic902 is going to be a good phone though (if it wasn't a Moto it could be great) but it will be the best Nextel phone out.
