I'll be switching to Nextel before long, since my building is wired exclusively for them. Is the instant-talk walkie-talkie feature useful? Also, what network technology do they use? Is it GSM, or something else. How does the integration with Sprint work? Are they separate networks? Also, I'm curious to hear about experiences in general, service/coverage/etc. Thanks."How is a buildling wired for a cell phone?" I'm a med student at Shands UF, in a huge tertiary care hospital in Gainesville. The building blocks all phone signal, so they have an exclusive deal with Verizon to wire the pagers, and Nextel to wire for cell phones.
