I like the 'broadband' comment- I guess iDen isn't always a step behind.

Re: Higher speed data to come
I guess that means for those who want to take advantage of WiDEN, the
majority of the Nextel Telephone Possessors will have to purchase new
Nextel Hardware.
I'm not sure if my i730 is WiDEN-Ready, though.....

Re: Higher speed data to come
iDEN seems to be a very resilient technology if you ask me. What's Matt
Drudge's statement, "Often imitated, never quite duplicated" (I'm thinking
Verizon PTT here...).

Re: Higher speed data to come
Thing is, I am totally unaware whether or not Nextel Customers will be
required to purchase new Nextel Hardware to take advantage of the
upcoming WiDEN Technology. I'm not sure if it's what I said, or if it's
some kind of Nextel Phone Firmware Update that I have to deploy, I'm not
sure what the situation of converting iDEN to WiDEN would be, since
WiDEN is gonna be more technologically advanced than iDEN.

Re: Higher speed data to come
I would assume it will require new hardware to take advantage of, but that's
not really anything new in the Cell phone industry (think AMPS>TDMA>GSM or
AMPS>CDMA).

Probably will mean new hardware, but in any new industry (and cellular would
still fall into this category) most new technologies on the back end
usually require new user hardware.
What I found most interesting was the refernece to potential broadband
development. The thought of being able to use some business apps at high
speed over the network is a wonderful possibility.
