...aarrgggh!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/
I will agree with that. I do not use a Nextel phone for my personal phone, but I have to use one for work. If I had to pick up the phone and call someone everytime I needed something, I would never get anything done. There are certain environments where PTT and Group Talk really excels, and iDEN makes it happen.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/
If the US gov't buys Nextel's iDEN network, you can sitll use SouthernLINC (although you might not get your roaming anymore.)

Plus iDEN is deployed in Mexico, Brazil, (most of latin american acutally) by Nextel International, and in Canada by Telus.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/
1) My personal phone, GSM, Cingular (model, who knows by then)

2) My iDen phone issued by work. With unlimited minutes.

Sweetness.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/27/us-dod-buying-sprint-nextels-iden-network/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM
