Default Pearl vs iPone? No

Please Login to Remove!
I agree with ArgonNJ just based on what the Pearl is vs what the iPone will be. "Yes" it is true that you can play music and movies on your Pearl but thats a secondary feature, maybe even tertiary. Where the iPone's primary features will be music & phone.
I want VZN to get the Pearl ASAP as the current 7130 is, well..., ancient!!
We shall see what actually happens in June as its right around the corner now.
With baited breath.....
Regards,

Moose

Color is not a big deal (vzw seems to like silver), just release a cdma 81xx or better unit with suretype...

so do the newer Pearl's handle memory better?

Mine's like 7 mos old (cingular) - maybe I will get a newer one??

Signs are now pointing to a fall Pearl 2.0 (8120) release on VZW.

Wow. That's great. I just got my 8830 yesterday. I don't think I will be ready for anything more high tech than this.

Default DC Replacement

also look at boost mobile, they have grown much larger...

Please correct me if i am wrong.
Sprint is working on a high speed push to talk replacement for DC from the old Nextel days. My sources are telling me they will put this technology through a long and extensive test since DC is such a reliable solution. They have told me that they will not release this technology until it is as reliable or better than the current iDEN DC. I am hearing a possible release of this solution sometime next calendar year...most likely Q3. After they release this solution and finds that it is accepted by the industry and customer base they will have about a year to year and a half overlap before you start seeing the iDEN towers disappear. Sprint will be a full CDMA shop in about 3 years or so. With all that said there can be alot of things change in the meantime since this is quite a bit off still.

I am getting confirmation that Sprint is also working on a consumer/prosume device (Pearl2) and it will be released sometime around the holiday shopping time (Thanksgiving). Not a device I am interested in but will be curious to see it at least

Sprint is not shutting down iDEN towers for at least the next 7 years, they have in fact spent millions over the last year upgrading them and added additional sites to address the coverage problems and customer defections in 2005-2006. QChat has been tested and WILL be rolled out end of this year/begining of next year. It will be fully compatable with iDEN PPT so QChat users will be able to DC to iDEN users. Once QChat rolls out, Sprint wil start gently suggesting when iDen users upgrade handsets - they get CDMA/QChat device.

No one will see the original Pearl on Sprint, they passed on carrying it when RIM offered it.

Not sure your sources but my sources are saying as early as 3-4 years from now they will start shutting down the iDEN towers...but who knows.

I see the 8830 is now offered by Sprint. Are there any new rumors about the Blakckberry Pearl coming to Sprint? That is my ideal choice as I prefer a device with a camera.

I'm a long-time Sprint customer but I will likely leave after my contract because it seems like Sprint is always the last provider to offer the newest (coolest) phones.
