Make fun, but did you know that Nextel is the ONLY phone that worked in NYC the day of the 911 attacks? IDEN will always be around, especially for the government agencies and military who use them regularly. Because they're dependable. As a matter of fact, Nextel was even giving out free phones with service to Red Cross and other organizations during the 911 attacks to help families locate their missing loved ones. I'm just as big of a friend as the next high tech junkie, but youtube and android want save your butt in an emergency.
lol--Ain't that the truth.

Lmao... chill out man. Christ, I have never seen someone with such a giant hard on for Nextel and IDEN.
With its horrible calling network, and its phones ...

As for the IDEN network- no it isn't perfect. But with the way it is today, it isn't really intended for the average Joe to be using it anyway. Companies that need direct connect and hard use customers like fire, police, and military are the central focus. They find that the IDEN network and rugged phones are by far the best option.
Am I going to go get an IDEN phone? Not unless I find myself back in the Marine Corps. As long as I'm not wearing green every day I'll be fine with AT&T. But then, the chances of me being stuck in a driving rain storm or a sandstorm aren't ...

Boy, never knew there were so many Nextel fanboys on Phonescoop!
Is it for everyone? Nope. Heck, it isn't for me. (If I was a fanboy I'd probably have a Nextel phone, and I don't.) But it is a useful feature for those that need it. No, you don't get 3g speeds, but then I don't get 3g where I live anyway. I'm not even red on Verizon's map. You know, it really isn't that bad.
Not only did Nextel save the days immediately following 9-11, not only did they donate phones to public agencies & disaster organizations, not only is former NYC mayor Guiliani's NEXTEL phone in the Smithsonian, you forgot that Nextel ALSO lent their PTT phones to Verizon and ATT & other competitors so that their network techs could communicate enough to get their own wireless networks going again. Without NEXTEL loaning their iDEN PTT phones to VZ & ATT, those guys' networks would have been down for days, maybe weeks longer than they were after the 9-11 attacks.
So you few Nextel bashers on here, just remember THAT while you're sitting in in your tubs full of bubble bath, watchi...
