I'm no expert in this field so please correct anything I'm saying wrong. So part of the network vision plan is to get rid of the iDen phones and use that 800Mhz frequency for LTE. I also understand that 800Mhz has better building penetration than it's current 1.9Ghz signal. But from my personal use of Nextel phones they had pretty bad service in call quality and signal strength. I was a Nextel customer before the merger with sprint. So I went from an i830 to a Samsung Blade and the differences in call quality and internet speed was apparent (I know the Blade was a 3g phone and the Nextel was not). So from personal experience Sprint's network was overall way better then Nextel's. Sprint must have thought so too because they offered hybrid phones using Nextel's D/C and Sprint's everything else. So my question is how is using the old Nextel frequency supposed to make the LTE network faster?
