Looks like the new iDEN BlackBerry will be a Nextel BlackBerry Curve. The model number will be BlackBerry 8350.

I have the 7100i and know more about trouble shooting it than any Tech on Tier 2 at Nextel BB support! They are on speed dial. I hope they come out with something quick! Name? How’s “About Time”…..

Well, I hope that this is true. We have recently seen a couple of convert phones but they are quite boring! If the Pearl can be PTT on ATT and T-mobile then we should have it for Nextel/Sprint! Does anybody have an idea what the model name will be? Seen any spy footage?

True, but I think that had a lot more to do with the fact that no one knew Nextel was going away 3 1/2 years ago.

Additionally, Sprint and Nextel have to succeed with this to keep people from leaving. Verizon didn’t lose customers; they just didn’t convert Nextel subscribers, which, is kind of like getting a BlackBerry user to stop using it for a Palm device.

Sprint has to do something because PTT on T-Mobile and Cingular, although not as good as on Nextel, is much better than what Sprint currently offers. It would also give Sprint a leg up on Verizon that currently is in the same boat as Sprint as far as PTT speed goes.

I will believe it when I see it. Nextel has been so good at stringing along us customers that I am not convinced that they are doing anything progressive until it happens.
