why the heck would spring want to sell these ugly phones while verizon is coming out with sweet phone like the env2 and samsung glyde theyre comin out with this crap? the only have 1 qwerty keyboard phone that isnt a smartphone, they need to get more of these types of phones because they are most popular and they can make money with them.

I have had the distinct pleasure to use both of the phones in comparison to nextel ptt devices. The QChat phones operate seemlessly with nextel ptt and just as fast. Plust they come pre installed with sprint navigation, which imo is a neat feature to have right out of the box. The monochrome screen is also a very neat feature, yea its a little outdated but provides the customer/people who will use the phones the ability to see the screens in the brightest/darkest/harshest of conditions. To respond to the first post about not having qwerty keyboard phones, Nextel users dont text. Atleast most dont, so that would really be a mook point.

I don't know where you get the ugly at, these are two good looking handsets. They are first generation HPPTT and don't have the additional feature that you'll see on the 4th quarter phones.

Who cares VZW and Sprints next gen PTT are almost the same thing. VZW PTT is going to have better reception all round especially rural areas. Sanyo sucks as a brand. VZW has MOTO PTT phones coming out. Go with VZW for the next gen PTT.

Ummm #8 i really dont understand how you honestly believe Verizon is going to offer better HPPTT service than Sprint/Nextel. Do you honestly think that the #1 national PTT service is going to be worse compared to someone who hasn't been doing nearly as long??? Another note Sprint actually has 2 MOTO PTT phones that function on the HPPTT network as well as ones the function on the IDen network at the end of this quarter. Why do you think that the reception of the Verizon phones is going to be better??? Granted they have a larger networ(NOW!) but these phone only allow for PTT in EVDO Rev A areas, so rural areas are pretty much not going to be able to use the PTT, nice try though. Stick with the leader in PTT technology, not Verizon, by the way have you ever used a VZW PTT phone, i dont like waiting 5-10 seconds to connect, i might as well call with that kind of wait time.

I'm not sure about the comparison of EVDO Rev A coverage between the two carriers? As far as other MOTOS we've seen the V950 and then there's the "CABO", as its called, which is strictly IDEN. But from what i understand motorola is planning on making a hpptt pda similar to the Q9c and several other IDEN phones are in line as well. Also look for a BB Nextel/Iden phone as well. Granted these are only rumors, but motorola has consistently made IDen devices and I'm sure that they would not skip out on the benefits of hpptt. I dont think alltell had evdo rev a, and what i was saying is that since these phones require REV A, saying that Verizon's phone will have better reception is kind of ludacris. Especially when they are made by the exact same manufacturer. And prior to the Alltel merger Verizon and Sprint had nearly the same coverage, Sprint is know for having a great Data Network though. More so than Verizon.

Sprints Rev A network is not larger than VZW, VZW has over 80% of their network upgraded to REV A while Sprint is in the 60% range and oh wait VZW covers over 10 million more with their network. The actual numbers are 230 million to VZW Rev A while Sprint is 220 million.
