The TP2 already looks like it's going to have both GSM and CDMA radios. I think we're reaching the point of technical limitations trying to stuff an iDEN radio in there too.
Still, it's something I would like to have back - it's been a long time since I had a phone with PTT, it was fun  |
Actually what i was mentioning does not use Iden network at all, if you already do not know please check out the sprint phones at sprint.com and look at the LG lx400 and youll know what im talking about.
Sprints direct connect is a new direct connect service which was originaly called QCHat, and uses only the highspeed CDMA network.
Nextel will be shutdown in 2012, and all existing sprint/nextel customers who are using the Nextel version direct connect will be transfered over to sprints direct connect which is currently expanding its Direct connect coverage before the 2012 deadline for Iden network freaquecie.
Sprints cmda direct connect start last year, and has grown almost as large as the nextel direct connect coverage, and will pass that coverage by 2012.
Now the thing we need on the new sprint Direct connect is a SMARTPHONE, because all the new phones they release with the feature are just regular flip phones.
