Sounds like there will be no need for ... multimode CDMA/iDEN handsets. I wonder if NXTL took this route because MOT refused to share the iDen IPR with QCOM, as someone speculated about on this thread a couple of weeks ago? In any event, it does seem like an elegant solution to the obvious marketing problem of looking like your "throwing out" your existing product. Per the Seybold piece (which was well worth the few minutes to listen to), NXTL sounds like it would be happy whichever service its customers choose. This is the right position to take until the 1X system is up. Given the increased capacity with 1X, once the system is up we can bet their will be big incentives offered for 1Den customers to switch. If I were MOT, I would not be assuming long-term growth with NXTL in the iDen marketplace.
