Question about the Sprint Nextel merge
Sorry if already asked but just some questions.
Does anyone know if when sprint and nextel merge that we will be able to use the current sanyo phones with ready link to 2 way with nextel customers? will there be a whole new set of phones coming out? or will they just need to be updated to be on the same network?

As far as i know, you probably have a good 3-9 months before the merger goes through. Then, they will do dual band phones (probably), or slowly nextel customers will merge over to the cdma network. But iDen wont be fully gone for at least 3-4 years.

hey. if nextel and sprint gets the OK from the fcc for the Transoformation of ownership then i belive they can start talking about co-locations and dual band phones exclusively, but right now, they cant be discussing that. by law, they have to actually compete that is why they filed those papers that i just mentioned as well as other papers.
"probably have a good 3-9 months before the merger goes through. "
thats about right.
"Then, they will do dual band phones (probably), or slowly nextel customers will merge over to the cdma network."
they will do dual band phones, and they will slowly migrate nextel's customers over the CDMA network but in the 2007-2008 timeframe with DO REV A and Qchat.
