Nextel-Sprint Merge Question
Alright, i was going to post this on the other thread, but it was too long and i figured no one would look at it.
As of now, i could be wrong, but Nextel is on GSM. Sprint, as i no, is CDMA. Once this merge is complete, will all other GSM phones not be of any use or what?
I dont know if i can trust this merge. I guess we will just have to wait and see

Oh so the new phones will be TDMA and CDMA in one? Very clever....

Its quite possible, but Sprint is going to offer the instant rebates to customer who get the brand new integrated Motorola phones.. but don't expect anything for 2-3 years...

nextel is on iden, while sprint is on cdma....
they will make dual cdma/iden phones possibly sooner than later.
then they will start to migrate some of nextel's clients in 2007 when ev-do rev a will be on sprint's network as well as to roll out qchat, which is amazing. (its a push to talk product over the ev-do network that only nextel can use.)
nextel will have contigious spectrum in the 1.9 and 800mhz where they will transfer that into sprint's holdings, where they would use that spectrum (mainly the 800) for cdma.
as long as you have contigious spectrum you can have cdma..
this will be a great merger becuase by the year of 2008-2010 i think that nextel will be no more, unless nextel wants to have their network on for ce...
