Sprint's iDEN lineup certainly seems to be alive and well -- despite what we've heard stating the opposite -- with the 2008 / 2009 roadmap boasting 10 new phones by Q2 2009. Starring in the outing -- and arguably its piece de resistance -- is the BlackBerry 8350i, a WiFi equipped, 2 megapixel shooter-toting, GPS-enabled device set to ship in Q4 this year. Also up for grabs in Q4 are the Mil-Spec GPS-enabled Motorola i576, and the mysterious -- we say mysterious as we've no real details yet -- Motorola i776. Q1 2009 ushers in with the QWERTY Motorola Monolith, the walkie-talkie styled rxxxx, what looks to be a Motorola V8, and some barely noteworthy Sanyo set. Motorola's Mil-Spec Immersion, the Sanyo Pro 410, and a Samsung music-centric slider will see us into Q2 next year. Sadly, details are all still very thin, but we suspect the releases will find their way onto these pages in the coming weeks and months.
Those phones are either old, already on the line up, or just plain ugly. There are no attractive iDEN phones.
If by leaked you mean, taken from a customer facing powerpoint presentation being shown to anyone willing to listen..then WooHoo hot scoop!
Leak Sauce sounds totally gross.
I wonder if Leak Sauce is sweet or salty?
Why is the Touch Pro not on there? :(
Was wondering the same thing, anyone know why?
This is not a Iden NDC roadmap. this looks like iden/cdma roadmap. first off the so called motorola i950 is actualy the v950 and it is a cdma phone with direct connect through qchat. and the sanyo is definitely a cdma. only motorola and blackberry can make iden phones. finally anyone noteice that over half those phones are already out. and what the hell where is the i876 or the i877 the all the other iden carriers already have out.
notice how the cabo/i890 is not there? my i880 has stopped workng (canada telus) so after 4 years on iden time to go back to pcs
Why isn't the iDen iPhone on this roadmap?
is the new blackberry going to be CDMA with QChat
I ordered the v950 today for $130
