Any new lies (oops, updates) on Nextel bluetooth-compatible phones? Not interested in adapters, just real phones.

 

Looks like Jan/Feb, per a close friend who works in the BlackBerry development programer etc... for Nextel in Redmond.

 

sure sure this is an old thread... but the i605 will be out (rumor at least) the 1st qtr of next year.... it will have bluetooth.. there are no known working prototypes of it yet.. it will be a bar phone

there is also rumor that there will be a bluetooth enabled backberry for nextel, no idea when itw ill be out though... (perhaps jan/feb as chusteveb said)

 

I heard April/May for the i930 which is also rumored to have bluetooth. I am loosing patience with Nextel at this point. They are just about the last carrier to have Bluetooth...

 

i930 will not have bluetooth.. sad isnt it? i have played with the prototype... :-\ its a nice phone...but i got rid of nextel because the phone suck, service sucks... well i still have it..but the plan is on"vacation" unlimited minutes for $113 a month.. lol

anyways.. yeah the i605 will be the first to hve it...i930 wont have it

 

Thanks for crushing my last hope !

 

Yeah I've got the unlimited plan too. But my contract is comming up, wonder what I should do... I'd go Verizon if they serviced my area. I dunno, my business/family do use the PTP feature quite a bit and I'm scared I won't miss it till it's gone.

 

lol you are welcome.. sad isnt it?

 

Hmm.... I never really used the DC feature... but I must say, I love my ATTWS service... it works GREAT

 

Hey All...check this out......click here

Even better....click here too looks like it will have bluetooth....just when?!?!?!?!

 

nice find on the fcc site

 

Thanks!

 

looks like shlt

 

It's true that the upcoming i930 (not sure on model #) phone model using microsoft's OS will NOT be bluetooth. However, there is good news! Apparantly Nextel's corprate customers like Service Master, etc have demanded that Nextel market a bluetooth compatable phone ASAP. These companies have field service based businesses that require point of sale services. Buetooth technology allows these companies to quickly deploy POS services using multiple vendor's equipment e.g. Belt mounted thermal printer for credit card receipt's, or mag strip readers. The word is that Bluetooth Nextels will be marketed soon, but the first offering will only be offered to business companies. Don't worry though as soon as they got them you'll see them on ebay, count on it

 

Yeah, the i605 will be the first bluetooth. Go to howardforums.com and you can read about any upcoming phones.
