You will find through further research that much of what nextel 18 has said is true. He may elaborate on information that is easy to get to. You have to take into accout that not evey one goes all over the web looking up information on mobile carriers. They get alot of information from this forum. I personally don't care were the info comes from and im quite cappable of seperating fact from oppinion.

Just someone who always complains instead of saying thanks and I don’t say things that aren’t posted somewhere because that is a no no and everyone knows it. Therefore, I try to get information and then I elaborate on it so people can understand what I am talking about.

Nothing new.

At least Nextel 18 keeps a civil discussion

Sorry, but he resorts to name calling at the drop of a hat and at that point any form of "discussion" goes out the window. It's just one obstinate opinion versus another.

Thanks for sticking up for me I appreciate it.

Get over yourselves. It's a damn forum, and if you wanna beleive it, feel free. None of the info on this site will make or break your lives...

Not true. The first phone will be the i930 which has not come out yet. They carry phones that are GSM only which to Nextel is considered more of an accessory rather then a phone. You have to have two phones, an IDEN phone for here and a GSM phone for over seas which uses its own SIM card as well. They currently offer the V180 and the V505 as international phones.

You know, they might scrap that whole i930 dealie because of style alone. All the pictures eluded to a i8xx style. Now, nextel18 might throw his hands up but the i830 & i836 didn't exactly when a 'most eye appealing' prize (what little appeal it had was based on it being small vs what Nextel was offering)... They're just now getting into a more comfortable style with the i850 & i760. (I dunno', the i836 still strikes me as a chick phone)

Um...the i930 has a whole lot more going for it than "Style". For one, it is a Smart phone runing windows mobile. For another, it is going to be their new GSM/Iden phone for overseas roaming without having to have a separate phone like the V505 or an old-@$$ phone like the i2000. Also, as I've stated before, there is going to be a whole i9xx series, including an i960 (upgraded version of i930 with GSM removed and adding bluetooth) and an i980 (PDA style) all smartphones, all with SDIO card slots, running windows mobile. Also, I don't know about the i980, but the i930 and i960 are supposed to have megapixel cameras.

This series is about alot more than style. It's about picking up alot of lost time technology wise over their current of...

...indeed... I still see them moving away from the phone designs (style/look/shape) of the i830 and i860... The link from your thread showed a picture on page one of the test report: https://www.phonescoop.com/carriers/forum.php ?fm=m&ff=6&fi=304214
I kinda' see them taking the guts out of it and moving in a different direction, style-wise...

Actually I was doing some additional research on the i930 and the phone already has PCS 1900 in it which I have been saying for a while on the NEXTEL board. On the bottom of page 2 of this URL on the FCC website states that it is available:

Wow! A bit angry aren't we. You rip nextel 18 apart for only using pubicly available info and yet the only backup I see in your post is a link to a phonescoop article. You said:

"You do realize that by stating it will take the companies you obviously love 2 years to create something which should be cake to make, you are implying there are incredibly stupid, right? And how can a stupid company dominate the industry? I really don't think you know what your talking about."

This should be "cake to make" huh? I'd like to see some of the proof you rip nextel 18 for not having.

I'm guessing you do not work in wireless. If a company could just "add the cdma frequency" to a phone don't you think they would just do it? Wow! And you cal...

listen... bottom line.. you all need to shut up and listen to me *cough*

People these days don’t know how to say thanks when others try to help I guess, and that’s why I blocked him because he would say things but then I would counter with sound opinions and/or advice then he would say blah blah blah. Therefore, I tuned him out. Oh well.

I want to say thanks for backing me up.

That's because you sit around trying to make something great, when it hasn't happened yet.

Just ask your buddy muchdrama

Of course, it has because I provide people with information and you and muchdrama and a few others could care less about, which is quite pathetic. So instead of talking about me, perhaps talk about why you don’t like or like this company instead of personal feelings for others.

Now that's funny. I even stood up for nextel18 a couple times when I knew he was giving accurate info. However, as soon I call his bluff and he knows he can't fool me, and will be exposed as a fool himself, he "tunes me out"

Well, now he's exposed himself as something else too....A WUSS who is afraid of a good debate...and I throughly enjoy a good debate too....oh well....he can keep hiding in his dream world where he knows everything and is "God of Nextel"

In a day and age where phones support MULTIPLE frequencies (read: GSM, Bluetooth, WiFi, EDGE, IR and many others) How hard do you really think it is to add the ability to use one frequency rather than another? I'm also simply stating that since Nextel has already proven they can make dual mode Iden/GSM phones, making an Iden/CDMA phone shouldn't be too hard either. As I have pointed out, the only thing that will be HARD about it is if they try to make a way for the 2 signals to have seamless handoffs.

Its not difficult as long as the 2 signals are utilizing the same control platform. NEXTEL is doing seamless roaming from 800 MHz to 900 MHz currently. They just have to make sure that the technology on the receiving end is prepared to take the call seamlessly.

Now to roam from iDEN to CDMA and back again may prove to be a bit more difficult...
