Motorola Phones for CDMA and iDEN

[Barry]

Motorola has plans to develop handsets for Sprint Nextel that will work on both the walkie-talkie network that Motorola created for Nextel in the 1990s as well as Sprint’s CDMA network technology.

Motorola expects the first dual-mode iDEN/CDMA phone to go to market by fall, with the second available by yearend 2006.

The move signals that Sprint, which bought Nextel last year, will likely remain a large customer after its supply agreement with Motorola expires in 2007. Sprint Nextel’s walkie-talkie phones accounted for 13 percent of the handsets Motorola sold last year.
