I was told by our Sprint Nextel rep that the "dual mode" phone coming out would use CDMA for voice and iDen for PTP. Makes a bunch of sense. Why get rid of a great walkie-talkie network. Use the bandwitdh just for PTP and with the new CDMA coming out by the end of the year, that would be a great phone. Even if I doubt they will do it with a 8700 series BB, which would give both Nextel and sprint users their 8700 fix.
