if they stay with nextels direct connect instead of sprints ready linc than i would expect it to be quite a bit bigger. if you have ever taken apart a nextel you would notice that there are actually two seperate boards one for the cell side and another for the direct connect side. that is why there phones tend to larger than most. while ready link uses voice over ip this allows them to use the existing data connection and thus the phones are smaller. it all depends on what they choose for their radio service as to whether or not we will see a 7100 anytime this year... doubt it as ready linc sucks compared to direct connect.
