Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / January 2004Nextel Palm-Based Phone?
Hey, Anyone heard of the possibility of Nextel introducing a Nextel/Palm combo phone in addition to the blackberry lineup? I currently have three devices (nextel phone, palm, blackberry pager) and would like only one. The blackberry model that palm offers looks nice but: a. I really like Palm's power and functionality; and B) blackberry won't sync with a Macintosh. I would think a Palm-based phone from Nextel with a QWERTY keyboard would be a big hit. Anyone hear anything? Is it "never going to happen" because of nextel's offering of blackberry items? Thanks, Damon I heard they are coming out with a microsoft pda/phone combo, the i930 i believe it is going to be.

Yep, although I hear it will probably be released late this year. One interesting thing I have heard- there may be a bluetooth phone on the market before then. Certainly not the same as a smartphone, but a nice thing to have available. Hmm ... but will any of these be Mac compatible? That is my real selling point. Trying to consolidate my three items into one. Just getting the phone and pager into one may be good enough -- I just didn't want them to release a new Palm Phone after I went and got the blackberry. I can only assume that Microsoft PDA's aren't mac compatible. Although: maybe they should be with the Office X software ... who knows?

Feel secure with your Blackberry- no plans for a Palm Phone. > I can only assume that Microsoft PDA's aren't mac compatible. > Although: maybe they should be with the Office X software ... who > knows? > > DT Sorry Scott, your wrong on that account, check out: http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4165 > > Hmm ... but will any of these be Mac compatible?

You had posted a message to someone to be happy with their Blackberry as Nextel has no Palm Phones planned, that's all. > > Sorry Scott, your wrong on that account, check out: > > > > http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4165 > > Maybe I'm a little slow today- what part of what I said was wrong? > You had posted a message to someone to be happy with their Blackberry as > Nextel has no Palm Phones planned, that's all. Smartphone is not a Palm phone- Palm phones run on the Palm OS, not Microsoft. Smartphones are a Micorsoft driven product. My statement stands- Nextel has no plans to offer a Palm phone. My apologies, you are correct. I put my foot in my mouth on this one.

No problem- you had me believing that I done the same for a minute or two. No harm, no foul. actually it's not palm its windows based. capt. > You had posted a message to someone to be happy with their Blackberry as > Nextel has no Palm Phones planned, that's all.

I just bought an04 Acura TL which has Bluetooth capability...After 4 contacts in to Nextel & 1 directly to Motorolla...Nextel has unofficially indicated that they will indeed be releasing some Bluetooth phones, but no date was available. When you ask Nextel if they have any phones that are Bluetooth capable (built in)....they answer with a list of all of the phones that will work with the JABRA Freespeak which is completely wrong & misleading! The $179 JABRA Freespeak has an external Bluetooth that plugs in to the phone and only provide Bluetooth functionality with the earpeice. Anyway...they say they will have some B-Tooth phones out, they just don't know when. >Hey, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >Thanks, >Damon > I just bought an04 Acura TL which has Bluetooth capability...After 4 > contacts in to Nextel & 1 directly to Motorolla...Nextel has [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Anyway...they say they will have some B-Tooth phones out, they just > don't know when.

[/B] that's what i heard as well! altho, there are no definites but yo should look for it on the i930 even tho it wasn't on the presentatio sheets (maybe on the i860, but i kinda doubt it). also the 930 may sync w/the mac by the time that it's released - rdmille |
