The i860 and its Creaky Flip.
I finally had a chance to play around with an i860 for a considerable amount of time. I liked the way it felt in my hand, the color screen was pretty, and the exterior LCD was a plus (big too!). The only thing that left me puzzled was the flip hinge (and how tough it is to close it). Anybody have any comments on this issue? I noticed its two "clicks" during its upward and downward arcs...but it seemed a little bit rickety and hard to shut. Otherwise I really liked the phone...I would eventually get used to the way it opens and shuts.

thats normal the rickety notice it makes when u use the flip. i had the i730 and when i got my i860 it felt weird the look and the weight are diff but i love this phone. it also has the best reception from nextel i have ever had. i have a question when i got mine it came with this battery that was all white and just said Motorola on it the normal is black and blue have u seen this before?

Yep it has a "click click" when it's closed, but using the side button flip outweighs the little click.
Overall it's a super phone...and with the wife having an i830 we find our connection reliability better than when we had an i95 and i60.

For a while there, all I was reading about was reception problems with the i730 and general network glitches. Tell me, Mark...is this because of bandwith limitations? Will WiDEN really make that much of an improvement until CDMA comes into play?

Well the deal with WiDEN is that NEXTEL needs to have contiguous 80...

They have no choice. Public Safety can't survive anymore with the OOBE that the NEXTEL transmitters produce.
Besides, that is what NEXTEL so attractive to Sprint...800 MHz spectrum is something Sprint doesn't have and they need it to compete with the A & B carriers for in-building penetration.

I agree and if they play their cards right they might just beat the others to the 2.5 GHz. spectrum deployment for next gen wireless.
I'm just worried that Radio Shack may end up selling S...
