- Motorola Debut i865 (Boost Mobile)
- Most iDEN push-to-talk phones are quite bulky, and come in either a clamshell or candy bar form factor. The Motorola Debut for Boost Mobile, however, bucks that trend. It is the first ever iDEN push-to-talk phone to come in a slider design, which gives it a rather svelte appearance. Aside...

- T-Mobile and Sprint? Wild-cards abound
- Don't see why they'd HAVE to move to one platform..[b]The technology integration is a killer. T-Mobile operates a GSM network. Sprint has a CDMA and IDEN network. Good luck moving to one platform. [/b]As you yourself stated - Sprint has two technologies - CDMA and IDEN. And they get along...

- Carrier strength drives smartphone selectionsI'd swap 2 and 3, but otherwise agree with the orderThe only dropped calls I've had since switching to Cingular(later bought by AT&T) later turned out to NOT be their signal. There was one spot on a highway near the local airport where I would lose...

- Motorla Clutch i425 (Boost Mobile)
- Photo gallery:Motorola Clutch i425If you like Nextel's features, but can't afford the services plans, you'd be wise to consider Boost Mobile. Sort of a Sprint Nextel younger brother, Boost offers similar phones and services at a cheaper price. And now with the new Motorola Clutch i425, Boost also gets its...

- RIM BlackBerry Curve 8350i (Sprint)
- Photo gallery: RIM BlackBerry Curve 8350iFirst introduced at CTIA Fall 2008, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8350i is finally available through Sprint.

- Motorola i576 - black (Sprint)
- It's rare that you'd confuse a Nextel phone for another carrier's handset. Indeed, Nextel models such as the Motorola i576 tend to have a functional, industrial design that's built for usability and durability rather than sex appeal. Granted, there has been the occasional exception, but most of the time...

- Cell Ranger Stix
- Cell phone signal boosters can be invaluable, but they can also be expensive and a bit complicated. For example, take the SignalBoost Mobile Professional Amplifier Kit from Wilson Electronics. While it works like a charm, it's also expensive ($269) and it comes with quite a few parts to assemble. But...

- Photo gallery:Motorola i776At the fall CTIA show in September, Sprint assured us that it was not forgetting its Nextel fans. The carrier promised that by the end of the year it would release four iDEN-only phones for the push-to-talk-loving masses. We've already reviewed the Motorola i365, we're still waiting for...

- SignalBoost Mobile Professional Amplifier Kit
- If we ever need an industrial-strength cell phone-signal booster, Wilson Electronics would be one of the first places we'd look. Over the last couple of years, we've discovered that company is a reliable source for improving your cell phone reception--whether you're a trucker who makes runs through rural areas or...

- Motorola i365 - black (Nextel)
- If there ever was a Nextel phone, the Motorola i365 would be it. Big, burly, and bulky, the i365 looks as if it could withstand just about anything. Make no mistake: this is a serious phone for making voice and push-to-talk PTT calls. There's no camera or music player, and...

- Photo gallery:Motorola V950The Motorola V950 is the fifth QChat phone that Sprint has released this year. We've seen the Sanyo Pro 200, the Sanyo Pro 700, the LG LX400, and the Samsung Z400, and now we come back to the company that pioneered push-to-talk PTT in the first place ....

- Samsung Z400 - black (Sprint Nextel)
- Photo gallery:Samsung Z400Though Sprint Nextel has been a combined company for three years, the carrier has pursued a rather circuitous post-merger strategy. At first, the carrier said it would move all voice calls to Sprint's CDMA technology, while keeping Nextel's iDEN network for push-to-talk communication. But when customers failed...

- Sanyo Pro-700 (Sprint)
- When Sprint merged with Nextel almost three years ago, there were concerns with how Sprint would integrate its CDMA network with Nextel's iDEN network, and how the two companies would coordinate their respective push-to-talk services. A new push-to-talk technology was developed by Qualcomm, called QChat, to help that process along....

- Size matters: Verizon Wireless buys Alltel; Will claim most subscribersSubscriber envy? That's a ridiculous assumptionVerizon's 67.2 to AT&T's 71? Wasn't that gap larger after the ATT/Cingular deal? Looked as though industry analysts were right at the time, that Verion would overtake them after a few years, so why would this...
