Thanks
Looking at Nextel's web I found these two Java models
i85s "Sale Price: $199.99"
http://www.nextel.com/phone_services/vphones/i85s/index.shtml
https://nextelonline.nextel.com/NASApp/nol/ProductDetailServlet?skuIdentifie
r=i85s&type=phone
i50sx "Sale Price: $149.99"
https://nextelonline.nextel.com/NASApp/nol/ProductDetailServlet?skuIdentifie
r=i50sx&type=phone
They both require a cable ($34.95) connection to a PC which dowloads the
applets
"iDen Update" http://commerce.motorola.com/nextel/main/
And these are the current apps. available
a) Expense Pad
b) Sega Games
c) LoanCalc
d) Reversi
e) Calculator
f) Snake
g) Minesweeper
Not much... but the cable idea is interesting.
