Nextel and Bluetooth

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

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...

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.

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

Nextel Bluetooth

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.
