First iDEN Android handset reported cleared by FCC 3/5/10

[prostreetcamaro]

National Sprint Rep reports that it will be avail 0800 6/6/10 thru Tele Sales.

Pricing believed to be $349
$150 MIR (instant gratification thru tele sales)
$199 w/ 2yr agreement

YMMV

Now I wonder why it would go up for sale on a sunday via telesales and not be available at stores?

[OrlandoGuy]

Maybe it will be in stores sooner but not officially, guess we will see.

Now that it is getting close to being available, here is the URL for the Owners Manual.

There are some on Ebay right now that are unlocked and from Nextel Mexico.

Hmmmm. I JUST got off the phone with Tele-Sales and they report that the launch has been delayed......;-(

Better yet, they don't know when it will be available. Think I'll give Corporate Customer Care a call..

Gotta love Sprint, right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing or the rep responds "that's just another Nextel phone"

[boss_hog]

Yeh I just tried 3 times. They told me there was a delay with no release date known. That was thru coporate.

[EVERLASTIN]

yea got up early for it too they said 17th im pissed

And as with any new model, they are selling for over MSRP. I don't get it.

Under the catagory of totally unfounded rumor.......Local Auth Sprint Reseller called their Rep at home this AM and reported that there may be a change in plan requirements for the i1.

So a $xx.xx a month upcharge for that rapid iDen data service????
Or requre a simply everything plan as the only plan avail for the i1?

Can't wait to talk to Nat'l Rep on Monday.

I just hope you are wrong that's all. Almost 2 years since the 8350i was released this is monumental for us Nextel crazies who are on iden like its a crack rock.This is the 1000lb rock and my blades are sharp. I'm ready to start cutting.

Amen on that

[izsocal]

Does anyone know if we will finally be able to get and send text while on the phone ? I talked to a rep a few minutes ago through corporate she told me i will need to add a $10 dollar add for my data to use the phone. Boost doesn't have to add any more money to use it wtf!!! Has anyone heard if the old sim swap from one 128k to another 128k still applies here i will buy it from southern or boost and just pop my sim in and see what happens lol. What about the nav will it finally be included? if so i wont mind the $10 dollars cause i had to add that nav fee on my i9...

[OrlandoGuy]

You know that is a good question. Its the one thing I wish my IDEN phones did. However, if no one has the answer, I do plan on getting the i1 on my Boost account as soon as I can get one and I'll post what I find out if no one answers.
