I love Nextel but is indeed unfortunate that so many Nextel users have little or no 2-way etiquette.

HA! THats nothing I bought nextel in my town, their service coverage map showed serivice coverage in my area, but only the nextel store had service. When you walked outta the store you where lucky to have any signal at all. I called nextel and was told that my area had no service coverage.

Yet their own store is able to sell the phones in an area that they dont support. Its a large town too, not some small town.

NEXTEL SUCKS!

verizon owns you

I hate that crap. Just send it to voicemail like every other carrier:|

Oh well, hopefully the rumors of free incoming calls for Sprint will make everything better

i have both a verizon and nextel phone (nextel is work and verizon is personal). my verizon phone laughs at the nextel phone and the calls it drops, doesnt have bars, etc. i could be in my room with 4 bars on my verizon phone and a big fat goose egg number of bars on my nextel.

Yeah.... that's because they operate on different networks. The opposite is true in some areas, too.

But so what if they changed the locator message from Nextel to Sprint? The new company name *is* publicly going to be Sprint...

I get better service with Nextel than I did with Verizon. YMMV I suppose.

The Nextel phones are sturdier than any others. I couldn't tell you how many times I've dropped mine. The only bad thing about Nextel was the coverage - if merging with Sprint means more coverage than I'm all for it.

I'd say that Nextel will continue to gain more coverage, but merging with Sprint won't necessarily mean that they gain a lot of coverage right away. They *are* incompatible networks. The latest I've heard is that they're going to run both networks through at least 2010. Customers are also not going to be charged any termination fees for moving to Sprint from Nextel, or the opposite (which is a good thing for many people!).

I think that their official statement on a dual-mode phone is "we'll see about that - perhaps in a couple of years". I'd personally like to see that very much - it would effectively merge the coverage of both networks... and given the size of both of them, that would virtually guarantee you a signal nearly everywhere.
