it is not going to come out. they are looking to merge the systems by jan 06, the new mototorola handsets that are probably already in the design phase will be both tdma and cdma capable. the tecnology is there samsung, motorola, nokia have all designed phones that can be used on different types of networks. I highly doubt that nextel will drop millions of dollars to motorola in production costs for a phone that will be garbage in 6 months. They are focusing on getting inter-network handsets out intime for the merger. further more nextel execs arent stupid, they realize that the i930 has already missed the mark lacking what many other windows based phone already have. I think they should scrap the i930 and focus on developing a windows device you can use featuring bluetooth, wi-fi, ev-do, etc...but who knows they are releasing the i605, have you seen this ebomination, it looks like an uglier green version of the i85 with a color screen, god help us if this is what is in store for the future of nextel.

-from phone scoop...

"But with all of these delays, some features of the phone - like the mere VGA camera and lack of Bluetooth - are making the phone look outdated by now. Which is why a Motorola representative admitted it's likely that the i930 will simply be scrapped in favor of a new model that has a megapixel camera and Bluetooth. Unfortunately, that would mean an even longer wait for an iDEN smartphone..."
