I hope that you all realize that Sprint is doing anything it can to "fix" themselves. If they can make this new Q Chat system work I think that there will be a much brighter future for Sprint. Nextel had all the push to X services a couple years before the merger as I used it to send my contact info to clients all the time. Hesse may just be doing the right thing by fixing a system that was a huge cash cow for many years and all of a sudden was dropped. They didnt put a dime into the network for far to long and now maybe this will be their saving grace.
I dont know where you get your information but iden is not in jepordy of being shut down by the FCC. That sounds like the crap that some poor Sprint employee tells people in order to push them into a Sprint Phone. Iden still has a large following. Not to mention the deal that Nextel and Sprint made with the government was that they would keep up the iden towers for 10 years. Qchat is the next thing to come up for Sprint Nextel. The only thing I can see being done is Sprint launch Qchat and migrating as many customers as possible then selling iden off.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
