Yes, nextel will be releasing some 7100's soon. They are in the pipeline. maybe in october. its pretty much a sure thing...

[Mr Pink57]

From the powerpoint I reviewed along with some others on this board and hofo, it showed a 7100 series BB, it was called "B3" however it was mentioned the guy who released the powerpoint did change the pics of the phones, so who knows.

If it is released I don't see it happening for iden and cdma till q4 2005 or early 2006. But I dont base my suggestion on anything but my ignorance.

[stonent]

GSM is always first because it is an open standard.
iDEN is a Motorola technology and the BB radio parts have to be licensed from them.
CDMA parts come from from Qualcomm so they tend to lag as well.

[mike_187]

there is a new 7100 type device coming to nextel. probably more liek 8100, but yes, very soon, production will start this august, of the iCharm i for Iden.

Lets see..... I don't think August is realistic, but the Happy Halloween comment might be relivent.

[DUCATI750SS]

the 7100i has been on nextels swap list online for about a week..(those who dont know what i mean by swap list....when a nextel retail store or service center swaps units online it gives a list of current models to choose from) and it has been there for a week...usually this means the unit will be out within the month......thought u guys would like to know.....im still tryin to get pics though

Well I don't really care about the ringtones. I like the form factor and phone operation of the 7100 over the 72xx series. However if the rumored Electron is released by year's end, I wait for that.

i bet you wont see an electron on nextel, I mean look at the very slim line of nextel bbs as it is I just shudder thinking about the keyboard on the 7100

[faststang911]

if you want an electron then you will probably have to go to sprint. You know nextel is always at least a year behind on all there phones that come out im mean just look how long it took them to throw a camera on one meanwhile companies like cingular verzion t mobile are pumping a new phone out every week i know a 7100 version is comming but i wouldnt hold my breathe on the electron

[NEXTEL347]

NEXTEL HAS ADDED THE BLACKBERRRY 7100i TO THEIR VAD LIST OF EQUIPMENT, SHOWING A 0 QUANTITY AVAILABLE. THIS USUALLY MEANS, 99% OF THE TIME, THE UNIT WILL BE RELEASED THE NEXT MONTH. LOOK FOR THE NEW 7100i ON OCTOBER 1!! THE SRP SHOWS $349.99

[Dawg]

why are you yelling at us? I am looking at nextel phones now and I dont see it..

[BlackberryVP]

What they are saying is the the 7100i is in the VAD phone list in Nextel's system...FDT or Ensemble. They are correct...shows a system quantity of 0...however that does usually mean that the phone is going to be released the next month...I've only seen that not correct in 1 instance...so we will see.

[Dawg]

well he may be correct but no need to yell lol

like im going to disclose that. Come on, dawg....thought you were smarter.

[Dawg]

well when you make a factual statement I expect proof otherwise its just plain rumor and has no validation.

I mean I could tell you that nextel is going to have mp3 and tvs on there next bb and it would be just a rumor as the delivery date.

I mean people have been talking about the 7100 for the nextel but there still isnt any true sign to that.
