<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1007/hessein.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Sprint will gradually phase out its iDEN network, the carrier's CEO Dan Hesse said in an interview with FierceWireless. As customers sign up for Sprint's CDMA network rather than iDEN, the closure of the latter will free up the 800MHz iDEN frequency. Sprint acquired iDEN as part of its purchase of Nextel back in 2004, and shuttering it would push everyone to upgrade to phones that use Sprint's EVD...]]></description>
