I hope this drops soon though, no google maps or local is getting on my nerves...

Rumor goes fourth quarter 2006, more specifically November.

[sady4211]

There will be no iDEN 8700. Sprint will swallow up Nextel and Nextel will get the 8700 CDMA version.

[koleary19067]

I have the 7100i. Should I switch to the sprint network for the 7130. Wait to see what happens with the 8700.

There will be an Iden 8702 though...

[southwestcomm]

No. Only a CDMA 8700 version coming out. No iDEN.

[Nextel User]

how can you be so sure?
are you on the board?

[southwestcomm]

Nope. Shot an Email to the RIM TCM that supports our market.

good job.


yes, please do.

[strobate]

Uh, Nextel reps are saying Q4 for an iDEN 87xx, November specifically. Are they getting this info from some circular loop of rumor forums such as this one?

[Nextel User]

thats why i dont fly southwest..........

[kjake]

Nextel won't be swallowed up until at least 2008 and the Sprint/Nextel networks won't be 100% compatible until 2010. That's when the iDEN network will be dead (sold off to the DoJ) and Sprint will be the only thing left.

I'm fairly sure that they will bring out more phones before 2008.
