Schedule 13G
This Schedule 13G is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of Mark Fanning as a party to the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement, dated February 18, 2000, as amended, by and among Nextel Partners, Inc. (the “Shareholders Agreement”).

| Item 2(a), Item 2(b) and Item 2(c). Name of Person Filing, Address of Principal Business Office and Citizenship: | ||
| Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)-(2) of Regulation 13D-G of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), this Schedule 13G is filed on behalf of Mark Fanning (the “Reporting Person”) who, pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1), along with certain individuals and corporations (the “Non-Reporting Persons”) identified below, may be deemed as a group to have acquired beneficial ownership of the Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) and Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”) of Nextel Partners, Inc. as a result of the Reporting Person and the Non-Reporting Persons being signatories to the Shareholders Agreement. The Reporting Person beneficially owns 0.6% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of Nextel Partners, Inc. Neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Person that a group exists within the meaning of the Exchange Act. The holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters in which they are entitled to vote. Based on information provided by Nextel WIP Corp., it owns 100% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock at any time on a one-for-one basis upon transfer to a person other than Nextel Communications, Inc. (“NCI”), a majority-owned NCI subsidiary or a person or entity controlling NCI. However, because such transfers are prohibited under the Shareholders Agreement and the Nextel Partners, Inc. Restated Certificate of Incorporation until January 29, 2011, this Schedule 13G assumes Nextel WIP Corp. does not currently have the right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock. | ||

Based on information provided by Nextel WIP Corp., it owns 100% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock at any time on a one-for-one basis upon transfer to a person other than NCI, a majority-owned NCI subsidiary or a person or entity controlling NCI. However, because such transfers are prohibited under the Shareholders Agreement and the Nextel Partners, Inc. Restated Certificate of Incorporation until January 29, 2011, this Schedule 13G assumes Nextel WIP Corp. does not currently have the right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock.

Nextel WIP Corp. holds 79,056,228 shares of Class B Common Stock, which represents 100% of the Class B Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2002.
