Motorola ic902 iDEN / CDMA hybrid approved by the FCC

by Brian White posted Feb 22nd 2007 at 4:16PM

Our revealing pals over at the FCC have just approved the Motorola ic902 iDEN / CDMA hybrid handset, which will be the flagship hybrid sold by Sprint Nextel sometime very soon -- we hope. Specs so far include dual color displays with a nice 2.2 inch QVGA main diplay and stereo speakers for that onboard music player. Of course, no iDEN / CDMA handset would be complete without one of those 2 megapixel shooters and a microSD card slot. If you're into the EV-DO world of Sprint but like Nextel's Walkie-Talkie feature (formerly Direct Connect), this may be your new love. Now that it has been approved by the FCC, we expect an announcement from Sprint Nextel -- the question, though, is when?

EV-DO : Evolution, Data Optimized: The next-generation of wireless technology that boosts the capacity and speed of wireless data. EV-DO is an upgraded version of the CDMA 2000 system. The 1xEV-DO system uses the same 1.23 MHz radio channel bandwidth as the existing CDMA2000 system that provides multiple voice channels and medium rate data services. The EV-DO version changes the modulation technology to allow for a maximum data transmission rate of approximately 2.4 Mbps on the forward channel. It uses the same reverse channel which limits the uplink data transmission rate to approximately 200 kbps. It has an upgraded packet data transmission control system that allows for the bursts of data transmission instead of continuous voice data transmission. The industry standard for EV-DO is IS-856

Does that help you out homie?
