Hey Nextel! Sprint finally announced the "Nextel BlackBerry" today. The Blackberry Curve 8350i is a Blackberry Curve running on Sprint's Nextel iDEN network, with the quick Nextel push-to-talk that has kept millions of customers faithful to that system. Since iDen is slow, the 8350i also has Wi-Fi 802.11b/g for fast data.
The 8350i is also running Blackberry OS 4.6, which was introduced recently with the Blackberry Bold 9000. That means it comes with DataViz DocumentsToGo, which lets Blackberry owners create and edit Microsoft Office documents - a big deal for Nextel's business-focused users.
Otherwise, the 8350i is a Blackberry Curve. It's got the usual 320x240 screen, MicroSD memory card slot, GPS, 2-megapixel camera, media player, stereo Bluetooth, Blackberry push e-mail and Web browsing. Because the Nextel smart device lineup is so anemic, though, this immediately becomes the most interesting and desirable smart phone on Nextel by far.
The Blackberry Curve 8350i will be available by the end of the year; Sprint didn't give a price.
