Nextel ic902 PowerSource iDEN / Sprint PCS EvDO Phone

Size of Nextel ic902 compared to Motorola K1m. You can see front display, 2mp camera, and LED flash.From this angle, you can see the camera, push to talk button, 2.5mm headset jack (covered), microSD slot (covered in the side of the lid portion), and speakerphone button, and the stop/hangup button.
This is with both flips open. Nice, large, QVGA screen.
You can see here in the side of the open flip that there is a camera button as well as 3 media player buttons. On the side of the body besides the keypad is the mini-USB data/charging connector.
Looks like it has stereo speakers, though I haven't been able to verify. Keypad is spacious, and has good tactile feedback.

Initial thoughts.

All I can say, nice. I'm trying to use this phone as a day to day phone to see how it works. Relatively compact.

* Has a button to auto open the spring loaded flip.
* QVGA internal screen with many colors
* Color external screen
* VoiceSignal voice recognition!!! :)
* External antenna with pretty good reception, can see when CDMA service is available but no Nextel.
* Holster is nice
* Charges via mini-USB
* Fast EvDO network
* On the fly group network creation for iDEN
* Bluetooth
* MicroSD slot
* 2.5mm headset jack
* 2mp camera with ok flash
* music controls external so can use as mp3 player
* interface is now using Sprint Java interface, not the iDEN interface
* works well with Google Maps, Hosted GMail app, GMail app, and
* Sprint Navigation works well, but EATS BATTERY. Uses TeleNav service.
* Works with Sprint TV and other native Sprint services

Negatives:
* Battery life has been questionable, I'm going to order the extended battery to see how it works there
* Speakerphone is muffled. Far end complains can barely hear or sounds muffled
*
