Two different technologies... In other words, it's a mixed marriage, lol!

iDEN and CDMA don't mix, as mentioned, two different technologies...

Do you guys think it will be resolved in the near future?

Sure it'll be resolved - Sprint will continue to alienate its Nextel cousins to the point where enough Nextel customers jump ship that they'll be able to discontinue iDEN technology altogether, LOL!

They now have those nifty little hybrid phones, at least until Nextel is phased out so we can all enjoy QChat, which is supposed to be as good or better than IDEN DC.

Word around the campfire is that they will completely shut IDEN off by 2010.
