What was the purpose behind this post anyway? Do you honestly not realize that the vast majority of people who purchase Nextel Blackberries do so because their job requires it? I currently am on the CDMA side of SprintNextel, but I have had iDEN phones in the past. I can assure you that most everyone already knows that a Nextel is a walkie-talkie with a phone, and not vice-versa. I never expected my other service to do the same things in the same way traditional cellphones will. I expected them to provide instant communication to my team members at work. I now carry a company issued phone, I am free to buy whatever personal phone I want. You obviously do not understand your clientele at all.
