Re: nextel PTT and bluetooth
NEXTELDONE said:
yes most headsets have a walkie talkie button anyway
AFAIK, there is NO BT headset with a "walkie talkie button". You still have to be holding the phone, and use the walkie talkie button ON THE PHONE, but you can hear and talk through the BT headset.
Re: bluetooth = terrible
Funny, I have never had any of those problems. My bluetooth headset connects (by connect, I mean the time from opening the boom mic on my HS850 till I can hear something) quickly, with virtually no wait time (about 1 sec....JUST enough to notice it.) The voice quality is clear, and I have only had a problem ONCE with getting a low signal area, and that's because I was outside, which I've heard can happen with many ...
Re: Hope you Sprextel Fanboys are ready to get squashed!
I'm not misunderstanding anything. 6-7 seconds is the max....from what I've been told AND seen 3-4 seconds is more the norm. And 6-7 seconds is still shorter then it takes to connect a phone call and wait for the person to answer. Either way, this is only ONE negative thing about Cingular's PTT. After that you have all the included extra features plus cingular's MUCH larger network, and when you include all that, I think ...
Hope you Sprextel Fanboys are ready to get squashed!

Multiple sources inside Cingular have hooked us up pretty extensively with the plans on their new push-to-talk service. Basically it should be scheduled for announcement on October 13th, and will cost users an additional $9.99 per month for unlimited PTT minutes (or family-plan users $19.99). As expected, their PTT launch devices will be the LG F7200, and the Samsung D357, which itself will feature MP3 ringtones, Bluetooth, and, if we understand correctly, EDGE data. Hope you’re not as ...
Nextel dropped the ball.
After WAY to many delays, and other phones coming out that can argueably surpass this one (i870) there just isn't enough to warrant the purchase of an i930 anymore. Especially with Sprint fixing to release the PPC-6700. Nextel simply waited to long and has dropped the ball. If this would have released when it was originally supposed to in 2004, they could have made alot of money with it...but now...the phone just honestly sucks.
Re: Stupid!!!
Play a song off the cd directly. Then play the same song in mp3 128kbps. Tell me if you can hear the difference. I know I can. Heck, I can even hear the difference between 128 and 160kbps...and that's a much smaller gap than the one between 128kbps and cd.
Stupid!!!
People are still getting used to paying .99 a song for downloading. I personally still think it's a rip off. Paying .99 to OWN something that you can only burn a set amount of times, you have to ALWAYS have a certain software installed to use, and you can't even choose the quality of the song you download (all services offer mp3's at 128kbps...sound quality improves GREATLY if you take it up to 160 or 192kbps) ...
Re: what the hell, did I miss the boat..
Yet another way Verizon manages to screw their customer. Come over to cingular where you don't have to renew your contract just to change a rate plan.
Re: "Best" current phone
I have an i860 and it is just fine to talk on. No signal problems.
Re: "Best" current phone
The i860 is the best phone they currently carry.
Re: The New Sprint-Nextel company! Here we go. Here are some Facts for Subscribers
Now that's funny. I even stood up for nextel18 a couple times when I knew he was giving accurate info. However, as soon I call his bluff and he knows he can't fool me, and will be exposed as a fool himself, he "tunes me out"
Well, now he's exposed himself as something else too....A WUSS who is afraid of a good debate...and I throughly enjoy a good debate too....oh well....he can keep hiding in his dream world ...
Re: Get your facts straight!!!
Um...the i930 has a whole lot more going for it than "Style". For one, it is a Smart phone runing windows mobile. For another, it is going to be their new GSM/Iden phone for overseas roaming without having to have a separate phone like the V505 or an old-@$$ phone like the i2000. Also, as I've stated before, there is going to be a whole i9xx series, including an i960 (upgraded version of i930 with GSM ...
Re: The New Sprint-Nextel company! Here we go. Here are some Facts for Subscribers
In a day and age where phones support MULTIPLE frequencies (read: GSM, Bluetooth, WiFi, EDGE, IR and many others) How hard do you really think it is to add the ability to use one frequency rather than another? I'm also simply stating that since Nextel has already proven they can make dual mode Iden/GSM phones, making an Iden/CDMA phone shouldn't be too hard either. As I have pointed out, the only thing that will be HARD about ...
Re: Get your facts straight!!!
ccanady said:
Jldnr77 said:I mean really....Nextel already creates dual mode iden/gsm phones for use overseas....I don't think it would be too hard to make an iden/cdma.
Not true. The first phone will be the i930 which has not come out yet. They carry phones that are GSM only which to Nextel is considered more of an accessory rather then a phone. You have to have two phones, an IDEN phone for here and a GSM phone for over seas which uses ...
Re: ETF Fees vs. Discounts on Equipment
The manufacturers are still being paid the full price of the phone by the carriers anyway...it's the carriers who are eating the cost by giving you the discount, not the manufacturers.
Re: What is Cingular planning on doing?
um...didn't you hear that radio shack just dumped verizon for cingular??? That's probably what their gonna do.
Re: Episode 5 of The Adventures of Bob, the Typical Cingular Customer (plus music video!)
How funny you post this now...and we have a walmart debate over in the lounge...lol
Re: Getting Nextel Phones.....
Nextel and Sprint will still run as separate services for a while...although it will be made to where you can more easily switch between the two.
Re: The New Sprint-Nextel company! Here we go. Here are some Facts for Subscribers
You think your giving us some "jewels of wisdom" here??? I don't even work for Nextel or Sprint and I already know alot more than that. Like I've said before, either put up or shut up please. I don't care about your "confidentiality agreements" This is a PUBLIC FORUM, and unless they really feel like tracing your IP, and I don't think they would want to take the time to do that. This ...

HELLO know kids do have to rely on my moms money because they go to school and dont have time for a job jerk.
Up to high school, that excuse works. If a person can't take the time to work AND go to college however....that's just cuz they still got their fingers too far in mommy and daddy's pockets.

Re: does this mean....
nextel18 said:
that is wrong. (well about the readylink to direct connect situation)
read what Qchat can do and read the press releases. :)
that is all i will say.
Try reading what you just said, genius. If they accomplish a direct connect type service between nextel and sprint phones using qchat, then they aren't making readylink work with direct connect then are they???
Re: does this mean....
judog2g said:
How are they going to offer M2M between the two carriers when Nextel never offered that feature? :?
Just because they DIDN'T offer it, doesn't mean that they COULDN'T. Nextel just assumed that for mobile to mobile, most people would use direct connect. This however isn't possible now with the merger, therefore M2M is being introduced.
Re: And to think...
Incorrect. He said CLASS ACTION lawsuit. No matter what your T's & C's say, if it can be proven a certain business practice is being performed regularly that shouldn't be, a class action lawsuit is not bound by the T's & C's because it's usually filed by another group in the interest of the customers anyway, so that group isn't bound by any terms or conditions anyway
Re: Lets fry the kids head early...that away they will grow up to be stupid americans
Yeah, well at least the kids will have an excuse. Why are all the current adults so stupid then?

When people come in for a cell phone for a 9 year old because they canceled school and she is standing out at the road for 2 hours wondering where the bus is....yeah I think it can be a great idea.
Um...hello??? Usually school is only cancelled if there is really a need to cancel it. (majority of the time being weather related reasons) School closings are usually ALWAYS announced ahead of time. Just watch ...

anorthrnsoul said:
LOL! That's the silliest thing i've heard all day. It's already been announced tha nextel will continue to upgrade it's iden network for the next 5 years (at least). Nextel won't be merging into cdma for a long time. People are already asking about a hybrid cdma/iden phone, imagine how large and ugly that would be? I'm so glad my contract is up with nextel. I vowed to never have anything to do with ...
Re: does nextel have a good bluetooth phone?
MarkF said:
Nextel right now has the i605 available that has bluetooth, but it doesn't have off-network
though.
Um...look the i605 up on Nextel.com. It says SPECIFICALLY that the i605 has off network.
Re: YAY!
alejandro said:
since when did a monopoly become a good thing in this country.
Since when would this be classified as a monopoly??? Even with Nextel and Spring joining, it still only puts them at the #3 ranking among all the major carriers. You also have to consider that Sprint was already #3, and Nextel was #4 I believe. (Not quite sure if T-Mobile has more subs than Nextel or not) so in all reality, they are ...
Re: new customer question
reidsch said:
there was a deal i found on wirefly... 2 free Razr phones.
Razr's...sheesh....why is everybody so fascinated with razr's??? Get a motorola V551. It costs LESS (although you may not be able to find it for free, it TYPICALLY costs less) and does ALOT MORE.

My pleasure. I am here to help so please ask questions and I will do my best to help you out. (Goes for everyone else too)
Yeah that's what he says....then after you ask him something he says his "sources" won't let him divulge that info....sounds a little fishy to me.

Fair enough. However, this question:

Gee amazing answer....why can't you respond to any of the direct questions I made? Are your "sources" preventing you from doing so? I don't even work for nextel, as you supposedly do, and I have supplied more information here than you ever have. I don't care about your confidentiality agreements. This is the internet. Do you think they ...

Re: Thoughts on my last day!!!!!!!
repCB said:
I tried that. Since our call center officially became Cingular on January 1 this year, I've only been employed with the company for eight months, and you must be employed for a year to qualify for FMLA under Cingular. When our call center switched, we became new employees and our tenure started all over again. I've checked on it, and get the same answer everytime.
You might want to check that out. FMLA is a program that was ...
Re: Thoughts on my last day!!!!!!!
Apply for FMLA leave....then they have to LEGALLY let you do it, and can't penalize you for it either. I want to take a little time off when my 2nd baby gets here too...and they told me that it would count as absences. But they also told me if I apply for FMLA, I can avoid all that.
Re: using Sprint phone
jasmussen said:
Can I buy a sprint phone and using it the Nextel Network?
.....Here's your sign.....
You will NEVER be able to use a sprint phone on nextel's network. Nextel uses iDen technology, Sprint uses CDMA. When they merge, they will make Dual Mode phones which supports both iden/cdma. So no...you will NEVER use a cdma phone on an iden network. That's like trying to use a Verizon phone with Cingular....sheesh....
