A pager with all the good qualities of the MV, without any of the drawbacks, ie: firmware & RSS updates every month, chargers melting pagers, false alerting for no apparent reason, etc, etc. This would mean complete R&D & engineering being done in-house at Motorola, as opposed to the customer's fleets...so I am not holding my breath on it. Don't get me wrong, I think the MV is great for the most part, with great physical build quality & excellent receive sensitivity. It just wasn't quite 'ready' for customer deployment, IMO.
I suppose being IMBE capable would have to be in the plans for the future, since everything's inexorably moving in that direction. Hello $2000 pager.

No trees were harmed in the posting of this message...however an extraordinarily large number of electrons were horribly inconvenienced.

- What radios do you own?: KW tk2170, tk730, etc.
SV even longer w/ pager voice times
more than 2 channels
amp charger that works and viberates the bed.
a little smaller and lighter
a little louder
common batteries (like the 3 and 4)
more detail in voice memo
the ability to reset the pager right after the dispatch w/o SV.
instead of musical tones, have the pager speak the name of the tone- ABC FD, ABC EMS.
longer battery life and better sensitivity

Heart safe tones....starting lower in volume and getting a little louder...something that will get you up, but won't necessarily wake the dead.
I know it has more to do with the system, but possibly an out of the area memory...ie, if you shut the pager off or leave the area, you can still get pages back when you are in town, along with electronic time stamp, so you know that the announcement was made yesterday and doesn't trigger a response. (Example--long winded, but I don't know if I got my point across--When I'm @ work, my pager is off. Sometimes, announcements are made, such as "Engine 31 OOS, etc." If I don't have that information when I get off duty, it may affect some of my Command Decisions.
Possibly combining an Alpha announcement to the pager for special announcements (as mentioned before).
Bluetooth compatibility.
Off topic, but it would be nice just to have my cell phone receive all the info that my pagers do...one phone instead of a phone and two pagers.
