Sprint Plans Massive Base Station Upgrade, Phase-Out of iDEN
This is excellent news
Now they just need to hire me to market it. 😎
Sprint has been doing many good things. Dan and his team, have taken the bull by the horns and have done a great job of adding key implements to the company.

2013 for iDEN phase out.
I already jumped ship because I moved into an area where Sprint has limited coverage. I have to say, I love using a GSM carrier, I can do a lot with it.
Goodbye Nextel, your PTT was amazing, hate to see you go away. R.I.P. iDEN, you were a great technology.

For PTT, yes. For any other service, absolutely not.

Whatever happened to Motorola's Next Generation Dispatch?
CDMA1x EV-DO 800
Post 800 MHz re banding, Sprint Nextel will have up to 14 MHz bandwidth of SMR 800 MHz spectrum nationwide. (Where Nextel overlaps w/ another iDEN provider, such as SouthernLINC, Sprint will retain less than 14 MHz.) That is sufficient bandwidth for up to five CDMA carrier channels. Also, SMR 800 MHz, in its propagation characteristics, is practically identical to Cellular 850 MHz, which experiences approximately 7 dB less path loss than does PCS 1900 MHz. So, this transition has the potential to improve the breadth & density of Sprint's CDMA coverage footprint.

Lets go!!!
Again??
