You could not pay me to use any Iden phone

And it's close to an Android phone. It has the Android kernal. It just lacks the touchscreen and the marketplace. It's not being advertised as an Android and won't be on Boost. Now, we need some hackers to hack this baby and unleash their powers!
Doesn't Boost already have an Android phone?
Not every service is right for everyone. Here in PA, we have a HUGE, die-hard iDen customer base, and they're already freaking out about the impending phase-out that isn't scheduled to start until 2013.
Nextel was built around Direct Connect. I believe it was the first all-digital network, and is the only 1G service still around. And it is still unmatched when it comes to direct connect speed.
Does it stink for texting, internet, etc? Of course. If you want to do that, then get a different service. It's like having a dial-up internet connection at home, and then complaining about how long it takes to download a movie.
Y'all need to find something better to do with your energy.
I think its a nice looking phone and a good price point for the Nextel customers.

That's true: MO-SMS (if I'm not mistaken).
Specifically directed toward poster "6667779311":
Isn't it totally irrelevant for you to be comparing YOUR needs/wants to that of every other wireless customer in existence? To each their own, and frankly, no iDEN user cares that YOU want a full-feature phone for text, web, etc. You see, iDEN users go about their lives doing their thing, and they don't try to impress their stuff on you, so why can't you just be happy with the service you have now and let everyone else choose whatever service that works well for them? I don't get what you're trying to accomplish by trying to tell me that iDEN is no good, when it has worked superbl...

However, your original post slammed ALL of iDEN as being bad/useless, which is not true. If you had stated that iDEN did not work for YOU, that would have been fine, but you generalized it to ALL of iDEN, thus your erroneous statements needed rebuttal.
I could make similar statements about AT&T and T-Mobile not working well in my situation, and for several reasons I no longer use either AT&T nor T-Mobile. But I would never try to tell anyone else that ATT or T-Mo is never any good for anyone, because that is a ridiculous statement.
To each their own. You're free to hate iDEN and go with whatever other carrier you prefer, but it's ridiculous...
