The Deluxe does what it sets out to do fairly well: introduce iDEN users to the power of Sprint’s CDMA network. The phone has a full feature set and for iDEN customers the device is smaller than what they are used to. The build quality is excellent, and while the menu lag can be frustrating, the UI is a large upgrade from iDEN phones and relatively stable compared with its Motorola CDMA counterparts like the V9m. When taken in context the Deluxe is a success and we highly recommend it to iDEN power users and tech lovers who just have to have their walkie-talkie.
