@ Troy:
Do you mean 2008 or 2009? I got intel that the 8350i was coming out in Nov. (mid to late) via 2 sales reps and a corporate managment high up in the Sprint-Nextel chain of command… pls update your info or verify that you’re intel is correct.

I’ve been dying to hear that a new iDen BBerry would be coming out soon, as much as the 7100i has been good to me its just getting left behind by the other models! I hope they hurry the hell up and get a new model out, i’ll be the fisrt in line to mine!

BTW: many, many, many people in construction heavily depend on the Direct Connect feature so to speak of them killing this service is absurd.

Sorry Everyone

Despite rumors of death, Nextel is here to stay. Nextel/sprint looked over the users of Nextel at Airports, Construction sites, Goverment, and school districts and realized they are making to much money to kill it.
We received a letter from one of the mucky mucks explaining nextel is here for the long haul and is not dying.

I personally have yet to find a network with the coverage I get with nextel in Utah anyways. Valleys mountains, buildings I can’t use the “I have no bars” excuse for not getting calls.

Are the phones bulky? Yes. But that is the point. Work like tank, I need a phone built like a tank that wont break if dropped.

Anyway all hail Nextel
Done.

Yeah I tried to make a point that most of this “News” is actually just more confirmation of old news. The 8350 is new to my ears but I don’t get to excited about old technology on a dying network.

Old news. I broke this information over 5 months ago on Pinstack.
BTW, it will include wifi as well.

Nextel also offers very old models in Brazil.

http://www.nextel.com.br/NextelWebSite/aparelhos/modelos/vitrine.aspx

The site doesn’t show them, but stores also offer two other Blackberry models. I’ve seen them. I don’t even know what they’re called. Really old models.

Lol, my boss actually got nextel phones for all the supervisors in our building (were in canned food processing) and he ACTUALLY has gotten the 7100i as his phone (this was about 4 months ago)

I was shocked that they were still selling it…
