Right now they have a seperate tower for CDMA/WIMAX and separate tower for iDEN. This is also going to make coverage a lot stronger.

I don't think IDEN figures into the equation at all. Slowly but surely nextel is going away which is why there will be the new push-to-talk technology coming out on sprint phones. The entire IDEN network will be decommissioned and a thing of the past by 2014 as long as Sprint doesn't do anything to push their timetable back.
