Are there any new Nextel IDEN phones coming out? NOT CDMA/IDEN!! But Just IDEN.

Whether or not Sprint-Nextel will offer this new iDEN phone remains to be seen, but at least Moto has been developing new iDEN phones (perhaps this one was planned pre-merger then got sidelined?)
there is also an i290 and an i425 which i do not know much about. my guess is that they are the replacements to the i265 and the i415 for boost. one can only hope that moto is adding bluetooth to the entry level lineup but only time will tell.

CDMA coverage is better if we're talking iDEN compared to A PCS phone with 850 roaming, which the PS phones DON'T have. The coverage on my PS phone comared to my i90 is about the same.
As for voice quality, I disagree with everyone who actually thinks CDMA has better voice quality than GSM or iDEN. Voice quality is NOT a strong point for CDMA networks, although those that operate in the 1900 mhz frequency are better than ...
