Nextel BlackBerry Curve 8350

Update: The BlackBerry Curve 8350i is now available…

Just over a year ago we told you that if you were on Nextel and wanted a new BlackBerry that you needed to switch carriers, however, about 6 months or so ago, we started hearing rumors about a new Nextel BlackBerry running on the iDEN PTT network that would come sometime between this fall and early next year.

Well, today we are hearing rumors that the new Nextel BlackBerry will indeed be a BlackBerry Curve, carrier the model number BlackBerry 8350, and support Wi-Fi 802.11 b and g. We are also hearing that the new Nextel BlackBerry Curve will run BB OS 4.6.1 and be the first Nextel BlackBerry to come without an external antenna.

IT’S ABOUT TIME!!! I don’t know why it took Nextel such a long time to come out with and iDEN BlackBerry that is at par with other companies blackberries. While the iDEN (NEXTEL) network is inferior to CDMA (SPRINT), I currently own a cheap Nextel phone and will gladly switch to a Blackberry Curve. For those of you that are wondering why Sprint does not release more hybrid phones; think about this… there are over 17 million Nextel subscribers that would rather use Sprint for voice with Nextel for Direct Connect. Think what 17 million more users would do to Sprint’s network. CHEERS! :) But hey, in my area Nextel is pretty decent, thank you Nextel; it’s about time!!!

Has anyone else had this issue?

As of two days ago I can no longer receive DC calls from anyone, unless I initiate the call. Others can only rech me by “Alerting” me through DC.

Already pulled the battery, updated OS, etc.

Any Suggestions?

For all you who arn’t aware of the facts,

The new Nextel 8350i Blackberry had already been developed before the Nextel/Sprint merger which explains why it’s not QCHAT. This particular blackberry iDEN phone had been pending FCC/goverment approval for quite some time. Nextel Communications had been working hard to keep the iDEN network. i.e. The government wanted to take over iDEN and use it as a private network. Nextel was sold to Sprint and then the progress to get the device approved from the FCC/goverment became quiet. It was only 11 months ago, that Sprint got back on the progress to make this device happen.
