Sprint Defines Walkie Talkie's Future on CDMA
in other words........
motorola finally loses their patent and other cell phone manufactures can finally tap into the IDEN network.....
...
No patents have been "lost".
New CDMA phones with the new PTT feature won't work on iDEN at all, but rather a new CDMA-based PTT network, that will be interoperable with the PTT part of the old iDEN network until iDEN is phased out.

That's a mouthful...is this finally "Qchat"?
...
Yes.
The technology Qualcomm and Motorola call "QChat" is the basis for Sprint's new PTT technology for CDMA that was previously referred to by Sprint as "High-Performance PTT". It has now been decided to brand this service Direct Connect just like iDEN PTT.

Sprint must be reading these forums. I've never seen so many negative posts with regards to "direct connect" being dropped in favor of just "walkie talkie".

That was smart. A whole lot more people know "Direct Connect" than "Qchat"...well, except for us dorks.

no.... only sprint can ptt nextel. you need a fast enough network and thats what sprint has. cingular cant because well look at thier coverage and its not as fast. verizon technically could but doubt they would because sprint wouldnt let it happen. and tmobile is a joke

You don't know much about the cellular industry, do you?
Get your facts straight.

"cingular cant because well look at their coverage and its not as fast"
first of all at&t has a much larger network than sprint, and its even larger because at&t recently purchased Cellular One/Dobson Communications, which is going to add additional coverage and dont even claim that bs that sprint is fast and at&t is slow, its apparent that you've been living under a rock, because HSDPA is extremely fast, 3g technology, and is in most markets and metropolitan areas around the U.S.
