Full FeedSprint combines CDMA and iDEN, launches MOTO Buzz and Blend
After a long period of speculation, Sprint has finally announced its CDMA + iDEN hardware. CDMA, as you may know, is the technology that runs both Sprint and Verizon’s networks in the US. And iDEN - until now - was an incompatible network used by Nextel, which was of course acquired by Sprint back in 2005. iDEN is the technology used in the Push To Talk service for instant (walkie-talkie-like) communication.
With Sprint’s latest announcement, we can expect most future handsets to be Push To Talk compatible, combining their CDMA and iDEN features. The Motorola phones set to utilize the dual-network functionality are being branded the Motorola Buzz ic502 and the Motorola Blend. That’s very Motorola, but I’m kind of concerned that they didn’t choose BUZZ and BLND as the model names. What happened to the 4 letter words, MOTO?
