The type acceptance hasn't been issued by the FCC as of yet, so with this being the case it's not anywhere in the 90 to 120 day window.

Figure first quarter of 2005, but I'm sure a lot has to do with the re-banding plan and the 1.9 GHz spectrum that NEXTEL wants that could delay it even further into 2005.

In this industry nothing is "guranteed". My rep was very confident about the release date. It appears Nextel is about to release the i315 and i325 as well.

You know what is funny about that site...the pictures are named i930 yet it's an i860 that is pictured with the i860 in clear view. Does that guy not know how to read or does he think we are that gullible?

"Figure first quarter of 2005, but I'm sure a lot has to do with the re-banding plan and the 1.9 GHz spectrum that NEXTEL wants that could delay it even further into 2005."

the 1.9ghz has nothign to do with the new phones becuase they arent using the new spectrum for any of the phones.

Well lets see, NEXTEL deployed the i730 phones before they had any 900 MHz equipment deployed...so as usual your narrow minded thinking paid off again.

As someone else said...go back to selling NEXTELS behind the counter and keep the infrastructure details to the experts. ๐Ÿ˜›

Oh yes they do. They hold licenses all across the US and have deployed in Chicago, Florida, and NY. They offload interconnect calls there if the phone is capable.

Better go back and read a little more, maybe you will learn something....

Sorry...your wrong. Read the plan closer and you will see that NEXTEL removed the part about giving back 900 MHz.

As to who you know, I really don't care as I have been inside their sites and the equipment is live and in service. They are using it and who ever you are talking has no idea, or of course unless your dreaming this stuff up like you typically do. ๐Ÿคฃ

right buddy. the thing is i talk to RF people i talk to investor relations and they all say that they dont use the 900mhz spectrum. to be honest i dont belive anything you say. maybe you should ask those people and actually listen for once, because you dont know what you are talking about ๐Ÿ™‚. and nextel didnt remove the 900mhz from the consensus plan, IT WAS REJECTED BY THE FCC. and instead the fcc wanted their 700mhz holdings.

Well if the investors were so smart they would read the following by the FCC:

http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FC ... »

May I point out the following pages:

Page 7 - In complying with the obligations we place upon it in this Report and Order, we recognize that Nextel may have to shift some of its operations from the 800 MHz band to 900 MHz band frequencies in order to provide the โ€œgreen spaceโ€ย necessary to effect reconfiguration of the 800 MHz band.

Page 147 - The overall band reconfiguration process will also require spectrum โ€œgreen space;โ€ย for example, Nextel systems in the General Category band segment would be moved temporarily into Nextel spectrum at 900 MHz, thereby โ€œclearingโ€ย the General Cate...
