First Dual Mode iDEN / CDMA Phone Revealed

Will this phone Roam?

I searched the forum first and saw that someone else had also asked the question about loading pictures.

I haven't been able to find how to load pictures. (Hoping that pictures will give me a clue when scrolling down to call someone . . . the display type font is very small for my 30 year old eyes)

Also would like to load some ring tone songs. Haven't been able to find that either.

Plug into my computer's USB and the phone is recognized, but wants software to communicate.

What am I missing.

probably not, huh?

I am very intrigued by Nextel and have considered getting service with them a few times now, but I can not force myself to carry around a big ugly phone. These phones make me want to throw up. I can understand that Nextel provides good service, but I guess I am just too shallow for their phones. I mean come on. At least make it bluetooth so I can hide it in my pocket!

I just ported my number over from Helio to Sprint/Nextel and got a ic502. Well, the customer rep said it might take like 2 days for the port to completly go through. Anyone else had this problem?

Also, with a new service, did anyone else see the No WLK-TLK message in the corner?

I used to have Nextel and switched to Cingular because I had a lot of dropped calls. Can anyone in the Balto-Was (mainly Balto.) area give some insight on how this hybrid service compares to Nextel only service? Thanks.

i have been thinking about getting this phone, i have the Sanyo7000 now, i like it for the most part, i tried to call today and get this phone i was transferd 7 time every time to the rong person. is this phone worth all of this? can i keep my plan i have with sprint i have 500min free incoming calls, no roaming or log distance. i had nextl a while back and i liked the 2way they have. i have read some reviews on this phone and not so sure now/ Sprint/Nextel needs to get people that can speak english every time i call i never know what they are saying and they never understand me.

I started out with Sprint back in 99' then I got this wild hair and decided to goto Nextell as my in-laws live in Tijuana, Mx. and the PTT gave us a great way to communicate without the long distance phone bill. Well, for a little while. I put my father in-law on my plan then I started getting these outragious bills for international PTT usage and for regular phone usage. Nextell and Sprint sell themselves as being one and the same on TV, but there not. they have different charging rates. We went to El Paso, Tx., where my wife used her Sprint phone without any problems and I had a H time getting a signal, then when I did on the U.S. side of the border, I got later got charged for international rates. I gave up on Nextell and went back to Spr...

Does anyone know whether this is going to use a SIM card or just use the CDMA activation?

Nextel stores tend to carry Boost mobile and I was wondering how exactly these will be activated in the stores since both Nextel and Boost use a SIM card for activation.

hey guys..im a csr at hybrid care, discovered this site via tech call from andrew a sprint tech..(thanks agian for all your help ad advice andrew 🙂)the ic902 is on the verge of release however, still we are trying to locate info in regard to alternate line capcity. I was thinking you guy (awesome sprint tech that you are) might know a little. I know the bascis...mp3 play. camera, bluetooth, evdo..wandering if anyone can shed some lite! thanks a bunch

I just had the ic502 activated and now I need to manage my phone via my PC (contacts, pictures, etc...). How the hell do I do this and where can I get the software to do so? I have looked everywhere with now luck. Help please.. Joe

Can someone explain to me the point of using iDen for PTT? Whats wrong with CDMA PTT?

ANY QUESTIONS

Does any one knows when the ic402 & ic502 are going to be in the market of Houston TX !!!!! 😁

I want to poll everyone out there to see what y'all think. How many Nextel subscribers out there are willing to move to a hybrid phone if it had 800 mhz roaming included? The new hybrid phones have 1900 CDMA roaming ONLY.

when is Austin going to get the new ic502s

...no more of that dreaded "The Nextel subscriber you are trying to locate is currently off-planet"?

ever since the merger was announced i've been looking forward to being able to use nextel's ptt network without switching my contract to nextel...

i thought that these hybrid phones would allow me to do that, but i guess the exculsivity agreement that motorola has with nextel regarding iden chipsets is still in place, huh?

anyone have any clue when i'll be able to use a phone on my sprint contract to ptt with my gf's nextel?

anyone know if you can put your own ringtones into the phone?

so can you place phone calls using the iden network or are all phone calls made going over the cdma network?

where did you get your phones? web, telesales, instore?
