  1. No to be cynical but, with iDEN speeds (about same as GPRS) I don’t see how this handset will sell real well.

    Don’t forget, it has WiFi capabilities, which is plenty fast. Of course, when the person is on the go he/she may have slow iDEN speeds for data but most users of iDEN handsets will be contractors and the like, which I’m sure don’t spend too much time surfing while they work (unlike their desk job counterparts).

    So I think this is a very good move to attract these sort of people to stay with iDEN until the very end before the network gets shut down…if that will ever happen!!! :-P
