When are they going to merge the networks if ever? I was told that there
were going to be some sprint/ nextel hybrid phones coming out.

Maybe after nextel moves to it's new frequencies. Maybe after nextel
moves to cdma. Maybe both.

The networks aren't going to merge, because they aren't mergeable. In
the very, very long term, Sprint-Nextel will migrate everyone to CDMA,
but that's way off, at least two years. In the meantime, both networks
will continue to run concurrently.

Highly doubtful.

Actually, Motorola announced hours after the merger announcement that they
would have a dual-mode phone (iDen/CDMA) available in 2006. It shouldn't be
any more difficult to develop than the dual and tri-mode phones on the
market today.

Aside from any technical issues and whether or not Nextel will be moving
to different frequencies, I wouldn't expect a hybrid phone to be offered
by either company until the merger is complete.

I'd also note that Telus in Canada is in the same boat as Sprint is. Their
Mike customers have a huge chunk of Canada (whole provinces) where there is
no coverage.
