Well most of these towers are in areas where iDEN coverage is moderate to strong. Don't get me wrong, I like 6/6 bars everywhere, etc. However, CDMA PCS would greatly benefit more over iDEN. This area of DE isn't that populated, capacity isn't an issue. Sprint's PCS signal is too WEAK! I live .75 miles from a tower and I barely get -99 signal outside. Sometimes though, I get -84ish. I can guarantee if there was a T-mobile panel on that tower....I'd have 100% signal. (yes, the Sprint panels face my house). I only get full Sprint signal if I can see a tower. They need to turn the juice up, or add to these Nextel sites. I'd really just settle for the juice.

Sprint and T-Mobile both use the same frequency so the signal propagation should be the same. It all depends on a number of factors such as how high the panels are aimed and how high the power is turned up. Many sites operate at less than full power and are aimed with a downward tilt so that pilot pollution is kept to a minimum.

My sis & DH get Nextel updates. Don't know about the Sprint ones.

If they live in Iowa that was Nextel Partners.

CDMA is the future and I'm surprised that they would just stall like this.

Now don't let Nokia and other international providers hear that. They might change there minds about CDMA being the future :lol:
