Sorry to burst your bubble, but NEXTEL's US system is
iDEN.
GSM is only offered via various "International Partners" on NEXTEL's billing so long as you're
out of the country and using a
NEXTEL phone SIM card (might be hackable!?!?). As long as you're in the US, you're going to have to connect via
iDEN. That means, if it doesn't say MOTOROLA on the front and have a model number that starts with an "
i", you're SOL. If you want to play games, stay with Cingular (guess in this case, it meant billing, HA! HA! HA!) If you want to be serious and business-minded, go with NEXTEL. NEXTEL offers games on its service too, but not to the scale that Stinkular does.
