It's hard to explain. Nextel and Sprint are one company... but still on two different networks. Sprint users have the almight ev-do network... while Nextel users as myself still have the out-of-date iDen network. Sprint says that it's going to convert the Nextel network to Cdma... but it's not happening fast enough for me. The last i heard, it wasn't going to be upgraded until the end of '07 (OUCH).

FYI: The reason nextel kept the out-of-date iDen network was because it was the best in providing there highly in-demand "Push to Talk" feature which is almost the only selling point they have. But now since it's being offered over Ev-Do (Cingular)... They have problems :roll:

yea I knew that,if I'm not mistaken they don't even use the same towers as of yet. And I do believe cingular is gsm which has edge not evdo. ;)

lol.. i told u i get confused with all this edge, evdo, cdma, tdma, gsm, iDen crap.. haha. I meant Verizon (evdo... i think.. ?) has a push 2 talk service. Man, i'm a complete noob :oops:

its no problem we where all n00bs once ;)

rgr, i am still the 13373$7 n00b thogh :P

:laughing6:

i only pay 35 including tax for my plan. i think its the best plan ever! haah!!

lucky u, I have heard of plans even lower, but I'm content with my package as of now. ;)

it includes 3000 anytimes mins. unlimited night and weekend mins starting at 7pm and unlimited data. and unlimited text. the only bad thing is that there is a 75 spending limit.

haha, those silly radio shack employees :P
