ic502 by Motorola

The ic502 is a new category phone that combines the strength of Nextel and Sprint PCS technologies. The ic502 leverages IDEN and CDMA in one solution, offering Nextel Walkie-Talkie service, including Direct Talk (The all-digital off-network walkie-talkie that works anytime between compatible phones within close range. Range will vary based on terrain and conditions-See additional disclaimer info under Walkie-Talkie services), and Sprint PCS voice coupled with Vision data services. Launch of the ic502 will be in 24 specific markets, only in Q4, 2006 and will be offered nationally in Q1, 2007.

The handset is certified to MIL SPECS for dust, shock and vibration. With a rugged, clam shell design, the ic502 also projects a slim and sleek form factor. The ic502 has features and functionality like Color Screen, GPS, Speakerphone, External Display and SIM Manager.



  • The Hybrid will utilize the CDMA and IDEN Networks depending upon the service being used.

  • Voice and Data will use the Sprint PCS network only

  • Walkie-talkie will use the iDEN network (800 MHz)

  • Voice and data roam with other 1900 MHz, but not with 800MHz
    Hybrid phones will operate with complete functionality (voice, data & PTT) in areas where CDMA and IDEN overlap.

Voice and Data service on the Sprint Nextel Hybrid phone will roam to other carriers 1900 MHz coverage. International roaming in Mexico and Canada with CDMA 1900 coverage is limited. Existing IDEN users will experience reduced coverage in these countries when using voice calling and data services. IDEN coverage and International Walkie-Talkie in both countries remains the same.
