what are the features

Dear Chris. Thanks for the visit. Here are the specs.

i880-GPS-enabled, 2Mpix camera, java aupport, MP3 player, 2MP camera, dual color displays, and PTT(Push-to-talk)

i885-2-megapixel camera, music player, dual color displays, PTT

ic502-DEN/CDMA dual mode , walkie-talkie mode, speakerphone

ic902-2-mgapixel camera, music player

Is the i880 just for IDEN or it going to be dual mode as well as the ic502/ic902.

Dear Ricky
the i880 is just only iDEN with PTT functionality unlike the ic502 and ic902 that support CDMA too

i want the ptt that nextel uses but i have a sprint contract so can i buy the phone at sprint and still use the nextel ptt?

Dear Jake, For that you need to verify the policies of Nextel and Sprint. You better visit the Sprint’s website and check whether they provide such facility with their service contract or not.

will the i902 have windows 5.0 software and if not what will be the follow up phone for the i930

also will the quality of walkie talkie in the ic phones be the same or just as good as nextel/iden phones we currently use and other than that is there any other special featers in these upcoming models not listed

WILL THE IC902 AND IC502 BE ABLE TO WALKIE TALKIE BOTH SPRINT NEXTEL AND WILL THE TEXT MESSAGE BE BETTER

Well, the handset will feature the WALKIE TALKIE function and sports 1900MHz CDMA for making calls in Sprint network or CDMA roaming. However, it lacks the EV-DO capability. ic502 has a capacity to add 900 contacts in the phonebook.

WHAT IS EV-DO CAPABILITY

What does EV-DO Capabilty mean ?

What is the price range for the new i880?

yo yo yo theez fonez iz tightalicous yo

oh lawdy lawd wow , just wow!!!!!

CAN I GET THE PRICE FOR THE ic502,i880,i885,ic902 i have sprint are all those phones compatable with nextel features

Well, the pricing hasn’t been revealed yet for these phones. If any one out there has any idea, me too will love to know the pric tags for these handsets.

i work for nextel (CSM) i 502 is just the basic launch phone and is only avail through nextel’s acct services and the basic price on the phone is around 50.00 us on a 2 year contract, uses straight cdms for calls and the iden network for the Walkie talkie features. looking formward to the other 2 models comming out this year and next spring!!

Hii Chris, Thnx a lot for the valuable info on the pricing and details of ic502

I was told the IC902 was not a windows device. Can anyone validate this.

I have the ic502 and the people at Nextel are having a hard time turning my phone on for me because of all the networks involved. They sent it to me for free because I had too many dropped calls using my i830. The people at Nextel said the cost of the phone is $255.00 with a plan. The one Nextel store I took it to thought it was illegal because it’s not out yet, until I showed him that it was sent to me by Nextel!

Well I’ve had just about every nextel that came out, and in my opinion the i860 is the best phone to me. But looking at the new i880.....well let’s say they did it big this time. I reside in Virginia and it’s suppose to be released on November 3 which is on friday and you better beleive that I’ll be the 1st one in line to buy that phone.

Hiii Roniece, Not just you..infact a lot of other readers are fevereshly waiting to get their hands on these ruggedized phones..keep in touch

WHY PURPLE@!@! its nice and everything but come on how you want me to rock purple shouldve made it black or silver are there any other colors?!and whats the price ?

Does anyone know if the ic902 will be bluetooth as well?

Heyy Lexsstone, the ic902 will be Power Vision powered phone with Bluetooth, camera, and MP3 player

Anyone familair with any new pda bases Nextel phones coming down the pike?

Dawn, I was wondering did Sprint/Nextel ever turn your phone on properly?...ps are you using both CDMA & IDEN right now if so how is the quality for both?..Thanks. M1

Does Anyone Know if a Boost Mobile Chip will work in the ic502 and on the Sprint network

Is there a date when the ic902 will come out and is there a price? I also was wondering if there would be a phone between the ic502 and 902 I want the camra but don’t need the music player feature
tahnks Dave
