Treo for nextel
Anyone heard of anything in the works for a treo that can be used w/ nextel. Through my wife's school they can get nextel at a GREAT price but I hate to give up my treo 650.

There has been no news and you have to wonder what the future is for Sprint Nextel's separate cellular networks. Sprint has their CDMA network and Nextel has their iDen network, and the two networks are not compatible. I wonder if the plan is to continue with separate networks or go with CDMA and force Nextel users to switch sometime in the future.

The iDEN network was to be absolved last I heard with the band being opened to all mobile operators and most wanting only to use it for PTT purposes, piggy backing on their voice connections.
To date, no Nextel Treo has been rumored or announced. I would not expect anything PTT Treo until Fall at earliest though. Possibly newer Treos would be able to do it moreso that our 650s.

I'm told Palm has no plans for a model on the iDen network. It's too small a niche so they're concentrating on GSM and CDMA. The only PDA-type device that works on Nextel is a Blackberry or a smart phone offered by Nextel themselves. Something like the i920/930. You're pretty limited to what Nextel offers.
