For almost two years, Nextel users have been eagerly waiting for this Smartphone and to find out its official launch date. After the Sprint PCS and Nextel merger, this Smartphone made by Motorola was presumed to be canned. And now MGN is reporting that this Smartphone might be launched soon. :) :?

Why do Motorola Nextel phones all look like something from the movie Alien?

I wasn't sure which one I should post, the one that I finally decided to post or this one.

I believe Nextel customers have more of a field based job and are looking for more ruggedized phones.

I can appreciate that but some of their models look freakish to me.
