Nextel I1000+phone cable to handspring announced!

Hi,

I just got an email from supplynet, announcing that the long awaited cable connecting Visors with Nextel I1000plus phones (and other IDEN models) will be available 7/15/01.

Read about it here:

Cheers!

Sweeeeet!!!!!!! It's about time! Thanks for the info.

Okay,
So what is the benefit of using this cable? Can I sync my Visor phonebook with my Nextel phone? Can I compose 2 way text messages on my Visor and send them thru the Nextel?

Just curious if any of you are using this.

ethos,

Thanks for the feedback. I have a feeling it won't be of much use to me. We are using the Nextel phones only as direct connect radios & two way text connect pagers - no cell phone capability turned on. I'll just keep using my Visorphone for browsing web.

I was just wondering if I could use the cable to connect to the visor to make it easier to compose messages.

I think I'll save my $39.95 and save up for a Memory Stick Memplug.

Thanks again!

Your welcome. I too have a I1000. I've had a nextel since they first came out and I love the Radio feature, but it seems to be getting worse as far as dead areas right in the city. Anyways Nextel altogether is another topic.

About 2weeks ago I purchased a Memplug SM and I loved it!!!!
