Difference Between Condor and Falcon

[writerchick]

The Condor series phones have two numbers in the model number such as i55sr, i85s, i95cl, etc. The Falcon series phones have a three numbers in the model number such as i205, i275, i605, etc. All new Nextel phones are Falcon series phones.

The sim cards for these phones will NOT work in each other. One is a 32bit one is 64. If you are upgrading from one of the old condors then you will have to go to a service center and get a new sim. If you are upgrading from a Falcon to another Falcon then you are fine just pull out your sim and put it in the other phone.

actually you can put your condor sim in a falcon phone and it will function fine, you may just not be able to use all of the functions of the new phone such as assignable ringtones, the only thing you cannot do is put a falcon sim in a condor phone.

That is right, I should have pointed it out, but you might as well just take your sim to a service center that way your phone will be fully functional, they will swap them out for free usually.

So nobody has condors anymore since they are absolete?

 

[koryjones90]

Not true. I know several people who still use i60's/i90's/i95's because they are like tanks!

Yes they are still people that use them, but they are technically "illegal" to use now because they can't track where you are for 911 purposes lol.

Technically illegal? That is completely incorrect.

The FCC mandate that requires all NEW activations be on AGPS enabled equipment specifically addresses current subscriptions on non-AGPS equipment. Users with non-AGPS equipment with current subscriptions are not required to upgrade their equipment. If their current phone becomes unserviceable, their provider can only sell them an AGPS unit, but the customer can purchase a non-AGPS unit via private sale and have that unit swapped on their service. They cannot swap an AGPS unit for a non-AGPS unit.
