It means they're screwed. Nextel can't handle a 3G phone on their iDEN. I had the 8350i for about a year. It was a good phone but it only did about half of what it was supposed to do because of the slow iDEN connection.
Personally, I'm pissed. After my last 8350i broke, Sprint "upgraded" me to the 8530. I just got this 8530 in February and now this? I refuse to extend my contract for another two years for the exact same phone I've got now. Only difference I can tell is the 9330 can handle the OS6. Who cares.
