Sprint Intros First Phones With New CDMA Push-To-Talk Support

For Sprint, maintaining their aging iDEN network is proving to be more of a headache than it?s worth. Even though their Nextel Direct Connect service still has footholds in certain markets (construction immediately comes to mind), their financial statements report a loss of 367,000 iDEN subscribers this past quarter. In spite of otherwise strong figures, it seems clear that iDEN is becoming more and more of a liability. That would certainly explain their move to a new Sprint Direct Connect service running on CDMA that is poised to launch in Q4 of this year.
