Motorola i880 / i885
another sweet looking nextel phone for a ****ty iden network

By next year you can enjoy the luxury of the strong motorola phones on sprint's CDMA network.

it would had been much better if it was a cdma/iden(DConly) phone, the design is really nice

I've never once had a problem with the iDEN network. My Nextel makes voice and PTT calls when I need it to. That's all anyone can ask for. No carrier is perfect, not even Verizon.
...
yes, but in comparison to all of the other networks in the continental US... Iden is crappy, old technology. Now i understand that where you are Iden might be Cellular Gold, but in the big picture, nextel's coverage does not even compare to lets say a CDMA network or GSM.

But does it really matter if it's old technology, as long as it WORKS? Nah..... iDEN was designed for instant PTT. CDMA or GSM still can't beat it. Remember, Nextel started as a dispatching company.

Heck, I'd go back to AMPS if I could get a signal in my steel office building.
