Cingular To Offer Video Calling

I don’t think Cingular is great with data, but they are just ok with data because there are other carriers out there, actually mainly one who is the best with data. I think that Cingular should just focus on other things and not to deploy this yet, at least until the pricing and metrics are in order, because I am not sure many people will be interested in this. If that is the case, then they would waste money on that like they did with push to talk. I think they should just improve their data by adding speed and content and focus on that before doing these advance services like this. If they do well, great, but if they don’t, they will have wasted a ton of money.

How do you rank the major carriers in terms of data?

of course he's gonna put sprint first.

and add a bunch of talk about arpu and blah blah.

you cant ask him that.

he's a numbers guy 🤣

LMAO @ Sowhatsowhat10...

🤣

Well, I look at data arpu a lot, content, and I think those factors will tell the story going on in the future.

Right now, 1. Sprint, 2 Cingular, 3 Verizon. 4. T-Mobile USA.

🤣

more arpu talk 🤣

You are so cool how can i be like you? lol

I'm glad you ask, Sprextelly.

Two things:
1. Stop verbally vomiting the press releases, conference call materials, industry buzz words, and such to deceive the reader into believing that you know what you actually type.

B. Change your name to Sprextel18. Then, I'll be forced to think that you have a sense of humor, and you shall be psuedo-cool.

Sincerely,

😈

🤣 you both are 2 much

I cant. ☹️

LMAO!

Now that was funny! 🤣

WOHOOO!!

Whah?

Sprextel18 put Sprextel first?

Shocker!

Well, it is true and that is why I put them first because quite simple if it wasn’t true then I wouldn’t.

Again, why bother with your stupid replies?

You should rephrase that statement.

It should read as follows:

"Well, it is true that I'll always post my Sprextel fan posts because I am, in fact, a Sprextel fan. That is the truth."



"Again, why bother with your stupid replies?"

Why, your Sprextelliness may ask? Because you bother with your stupid replies.

😈

You are one truly funny guy, too bad with just a forum life. 🙂

Part of me wants to quote Joe Pesci's famous lines from "GoodFellas," but I'll pass on the golden opportunity...

😈

Why dont ya?

with hspda upgrades i see it working.

NextelFanBoy18 -

I'm back....

Ok, first things last.

You said:
"I don’t think Cingular is great with data, but they are just ok with data because there are other carriers out there, actually mainly one who is the best with data."

What in the name of Zeus's butthole did you really just say?? If I could paraphrase, I think you said "Cingular's not great with data but they are good with data because there are other carriers out there, actually, mainly one, who is the best with data."

Wha-wha-wha-what??

Wow. That still didn't make any sense. That's like saying: "I think Chevy is a good car. They aren't great because Ford is the best."

That statement would force the reader to assume that the only reason that you do not...

🤣 that sums it up 🤣

funny. 🤣

i was starting to believe i was the only one that got that illusion from that post. 🤣

to bad he didnt pull out churn and arpu. 🙄

ooohhhhhhhh BURRRRRRNNNN!!!!!!!!

not sure what the age range is here, but i'm 22. the only people i see using these types of features is younger people. i see 13 and 14 years olds that love the sond of video calling. i think its going to be a big hit with them, but not for a while.

I actually think that the demographics in which they will attack is mid 30’s and businesses who heavily rely on communications. I am 22 also, and I don’t see the need for video calling. The problem is, Cisco already has these kinds of devices and services, so that means Cingular has to go up against Cisco and that is a very difficult task to do. Why would the Cisco customers leave one of the best companies who already have a proven record on this type of things and others to Cingular who just started out? It’s a tough decision.

By the way, I am not sure if you read the article but they said the same thing that you did. Hmm. “Yankee analyst Linda Barrabee said Cingular's service may appeal to young cellphone users or parents showing-off c...

i didn't get to read the whole article because i'm on a closed network and i can only go to phonescoop. but i do agree that price will have a big influence on how many people will even think about using it. I'll probably get a good deal on it with my employee plan anyway 😉

I would probably try it out also, but would I ever keep it? I doubt it, because it simply just doesn’t entice me and why would I chose Cingular who just starting it or might over Cisco who has it already?

Who knew Cisco had a wireless video conferencing device that you could put in your pocket and use all over town??

Wow. Sprextel18, you taught me something again!




Oh yeah... you taught me that you don't have a clue. 🙂 😁 🤤 ☹️ 😢 🤭 👀 😲 😳 🤨 😕 😎 🤣 😡 😛 👿 😈 🙄 😉

Why bother posting those stupid posts? We all know that you have no knowledge when it comes to this industry so please don’t bother posting. My point was very important because Cisco is the best when it comes to these types of technology and I never said they had a wireless video conferencing device, so please stop putting words in my mouth. And I said why people would choose Cisco over Cingular. It will be problematic going over Cingular’s network so why bother? It will be very slow and very painful on a small screen with Cingular. So I said Cisco has it, why would their expected target demographics choose Cingular over Cisco. If you have nothing to input please don’t bother.

"Why bother posting those stupid posts? We all know that you have no knowledge when it comes to this industry so please don’t bother posting."

If you only had a clue how far you are from the truth, Sprextel18... I post my posts because your replies bug me. They truly bug me. Why? They bug me because you regurgitate buzz words and your "facts" that you gather from press releases and conference calls without any idea as to what you are actually puking all over the message boards.


"So I said Cisco has it, why would their expected target demographics choose Cingular over Cisco."

I'd love to see your source that states that Cingular's targeted demographic would be better suited by a Cisco solution. Come on, Sprexboy. Bring it.

Can I seriously have your autograph?!

Thank you for that! Really. 😁

Cry online? You must be kidding.

No, no, no. I'm sorry you misunderstood. I meant cry in real life! 😈

Cry in real life over what?

parents will love this, their kids will have to show them where they are, lol. it's a great idea, think of all the ideas. a parent at work could see their kids playing sports live if the other parent is recording it

Not to mention giving people directions, imagine being able to show people how to get "there" very nice 😁
