It's a very cool phone. I rather wait for them to make one with a wimax chip tho.

Nextel Isn't moving to Wimax, only sprint is. Wimax can't support direct connect

Yeah but putting dual radios in it like the Supersonic will have would be easy to do. They could run the PTT off Iden as well as other voice products and use Wimax for Data

Hmm, I didn't see any mention of iden/Rev.A hybrid tech built in, would be good though, huh?

It won't be the slowest mobile web, It has Opera Mini 5 as a default browser. Have you used any opera browser on a iden phone. I have, and it's not slow.

I love how people make statements about how slow iden is as far as data. When your using the opera browser, your speed is as good if not faster than any other mobile carrier.

I am using the opera mini 4 on my i880. It's fast.

the browser may help, but there is no denying that iDEN is substantially slower than CDMA or GSM data.

There is a video on youtube where a guy does a speed test between Opera Mini 5 and the Safari browser on a Iphone. It was a tie.

I would never use the mobile web on a iden phone without the opera browser. SLOW

I am an opera mini fan. Check youtube on what the opera browser can do. Oh yeah, Opera is the number one mobile browser in the world.

The Opera does help. An iden phone running opera is able to surf more quickly than I am on the iPhone on EDGE anyway. But, if you're downloading something and not just surfing, iden is slow.

I suppose that means that you should find wifi before you get aps. Other than that, you should be in good shape.

If they do send this to Boost I may get one just so I can play with Android myself and see how it compares.

That's on EDGE, 2g vs. 2g. The browser does help, yes, but it will not magically bring the phone up to a 3g speed. 3g phones can use Opera too, and they would definately outrun a 2g iDEN's connection.
