iDen to CDMA rollout compatibility is almost complete. iDen is almost fully compatible with GSM, it wont be hard to offer iDen subscribers to pop their cards into GSM and totally work (just takes the Nextel side to say, yes, you can roam on our new native T-Mobile towers with your SIM, no not the iDEN PHONE, the SIM is compatible)
Anyway, I see T-Mobile using CDMA/GSM as a way to slowly convert from EVDO (which is maxing out currently in evolutionary path) to HSPA/LTE. Maybe keeping EVDO for "HotSpot" service type data cards only.
Its the SPECTRUM T-Mobile wants not the network, the network will be converted piece by piece larger markets first to HSPA/LTE.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
