Motorola's Opus One: first iDEN Android handset?

iden was developed simply from a business standpoint. push to talk on nextel is superior to any long range ptt provider worldwide. it was not a network designed to support high speed packet data transfers or dynamic voice communications via modem. iden will never transpire into a network capable of supporting a simulated broadband experience. sprint uses cdma. nextel iden. just because sprint owns nextel does not lend itself to a data intensive metamorphasis. the hyrbid phones sprint created failed and were phased out. the ndc phones that sprint supports through sanyo and motorola have been an epic failure simply because they require a rev-a evdo coverage area which only exists within about 20 percent of sprints network and 3g coverage alone is not enough to support direct connect through sprint cdma alone. simply put, put your direct connect phone to rest and accept the cdma revolution and use skype to instantly talk to your friends and family members without anytime costs.

why not make this a hybrid? CDMA for cellular and data and iDen for PTT. It has been done with other phones why not this one? I also suggest this hybrid concept for Blackberry.

If Boost Mobile comes out with and android phone i am going to buy it i don’t care how much it costs!! I am currently tryn to sell my phone now to get a better boost mobile phone. If this comes out i gotta have it. Boost Mobile has come a long way, They have made more then enough money to provide quality phones, GET ON IT BOOST!!!!!!!!!!!! MAKE THIS A COMPANY THAT CANNOT BE COMPETED WITH!!!!

A touch screen device like this means high speed DATA connection. iDEN data speeds are very slow as we all know so far. I hope these phones not only work or depend on WIFI. I know that NII holdings Inc. and Nextel del Peru are working on developing a customized PTT over WCDMA according to this article: http://www.huawei.com/publications/view.do?id=6090&cid=11392&pid=10664

All Nextel/Boost iDEN coverage is now WiDEN Coverage. Nextel was able to increase their data speed from 14.4 to 92 KPS using existing tower hardware. WiDEN qualifies as a 2.5G network. 3G, depending on carrier, CDMA/GSM ranges from 120-135 KPS. I have an i465 Clutch, it’s web browsing speed is on par with other 2.5G phones sprint carries, such as a LG Rumor 2 and what not, or any AT&T phone in any of the 32 bazillion locations AT&T does NOT have 3G (Seeing it’s only in 77 Cities/locations) I’m personally looking forwards to the Motorola Opus 1/ Now the i1. The WiDEN connection should be more than enough considering the phones abilities. Reports vary as to the OS, it’s either going to be 1.5 or 1.6.. If you’re wondering why Motorola picked an older OS, it’s because the phone is using the Zeus processor (The same brain as the Motorola i9 Stature FlipPhone). I think this phone fits in perfectly with the nextel/iden MO of their phones basically being ‘sealed units’. Sure, it’s only got half a gig of storage, and it’s OS is not the latest/greatest thing and it’s not really tweakable like other phones (Think: Tamperproof). It’s going to be a limited device, but built on reliable, proven technology with a track record. That being said it SHOULD also be a great deal cheaper than the other touch screen luxo smart phones of the world which could hopefully attract people to boost/nextel/iden again. Sprint really did a fantastic job of driving them into the ground Now they’re trying to revamp it.

those of you saying that iden coverage is on par with sprint’s cdma are mistaken. I used to work for sprint and still keep up with former coworkers. I’ve used both at the same time all the time and there is a difference, go look at the maps so you can see the different footprints. Is iden terrible? No. Just don’t expect it to work to far outside of metro areas.
