iDEN is at it's end of life as far as technology goes. It's one great feature - Direct Connect - can be done better on new EV-DO Rev A technology.

I would imagine as time passes they will drop the 'Nextel' part entirely and just call it Direct Connect ]]>Aug 16th 2007 1:24PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sprint-to-preserve-nextel-direct-connect-branding-for-ptt/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sprint-to-preserve-nextel-direct-connect-branding-for-ptt/Aug 17th 2007 8:09AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sprint-to-preserve-nextel-direct-connect-branding-for-ptt/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sprint-to-preserve-nextel-direct-connect-branding-for-ptt/Aug 17th 2007 11:12AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sprint-to-preserve-nextel-direct-connect-branding-for-ptt/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sprint-to-preserve-nextel-direct-connect-branding-for-ptt/
Americans should always try to support Motorola over foreign firms as their patriotic duty. I do not hope to see overseas firms making iDen phones .. if they did they would be surely flimsy crap. Everyone that uses Nextel and now the Hybrid Sprint/Nextel knows that the equipment is extremely superior over the regular consumers cellular only phones.... Nextels are made tough!
