Guys, i am SOOOO waiting to see how this `un shakes out!  Just from the pic i`ve seen here i like it, nice big screen, and from what i can tell nice UI too, now there`s just the question of, "Where will i get apps from if i want to have those on my unit, do i use Sprint`s crappy apps selection, or do i get to at least have access to the Droid app store?"  I sure hope they let users get `em from the Droid app market, as Sprint`s selection of apps is...well...for lack of a better word...****.  N9NRA

I am excited for this phone and the change for iDEN.  I believe this phone will sell well and dispute the idea that iDEN users are not interested in data like services.  I just hope the quality is there.  Gee I never thought I would have said that before 2005.  Android appears to be the platform of the future as well.  Open source app developers hopefully will develop some cool iDEN only stuff.

Wish it had WIMAX, would have really made this phone next-generation.  But then again beggars can't be choosers.

The device will be available this summer and as expected will require an Everything Data plan for activation and purchase,

I caught a preview page that had the processor listed at  Zeus XScale processor 520 Mhz.  I found a source on the web that followed the phone as it passed through the FCC.

I do not know if I am a smartphone user either.  Just like my low tech phone but it would be nice to have email, browsing, applications, etc.

Um...guys...this phone will REQUIRE an Everything Data plan ($69.99) at least...but the question is...why?  With WiFi on the phone, there is no need for data service.  Furthermore, the data speed on iDEN is slow as a snail (28Kbps max), so why require such a data plan?

I'm sorry, but as cool as the phone is, if I have to give up my Free Incoming plan, forget it.  There's simply no reason for it.  And why when I can simply port my number over to Boost, pay $50/month, and get unlimited EVERYTHING, and still save myself a solid $20 per month?

Sounds like this isn't the right phone for you. However, we currently offer twenty-two phones you can get with our $49.99 Everything Messaging plan. Hope you find one you like! (The link below is filtered for you.)
