yawwnn... quite boring. i know what i am talking about, apparently you dont.

yea, i love my gum ball machine.

yes you have proven to us over and over that you know exactly what you are talking about. 🙄

yes, and i do.

you work for sprint you should know some of the things i talk about, as well as from the nextel/sprint merger announcment WHERE THEY TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I SAY. (with regards to the merger)

O Ok thats all of you.

unfort. steve doesnt know what he is talking about.

they will be deploying QCHAT over the REV A network. prior to that they will have dual mode phones such as iden/cdma in one phone. nextel, motorola, and qualcomm are working on the gateway i was talking about previously with nextel's dc can be able to dc sprint's readylink system.

funny thing is, that steve guy is in sprint and he doesnt know this. lol, how pathetic. i guess he doesnt listen to his supervisor or maybe he is just in retail where they dont know any future things with products.

just listen to what i say, becuase i take information directly from nextel and sprint. (especially from the merger announcment and investor conferences that the 2 companies have)

hunh funny when ever i talk to the tecs from the stic labs they never once mention q-chat. i ask them but they tell me that they are nto developing any thing along those lines at all. wierd! nextel18 knows about projects that are not even takeing place yet wow he must know some real bigwigs with both sprint and nextel that are giveing him all this inside information.

and by the way nextel18 i bet you not even tell me what city the stic labs are located

i have no idea where stic labs are located, nor do i care. i know about qchat, i know what they are doing. nextel/sprint SAID THAT DURING THEIR CONFERENCE CALLS. hey i will show you the slides for you so that you can see.

"Sprint Nextel’s plans include migrating over time Nextel services, including push to talk service, to Sprint’s CDMA EV-DO network"

http://sprintnextel.mergerannouncement.com/investor/ ... »

slide 13 out of 20.

"2008; Launch PTT Service on EV-DO REV A."

"Interoperability gateway and potential dual-mode handsets" (from 2006-200😎

wow for a second i thought maybe i was wrong so i went to all the links and read them. then i realized no wait i am right. there was not one mention of qchat. not one. i tell you what nextel18 could you pleasse copy and past the sentanse where it spacifically says "qchat" in eather of those links so i can find it easier?

push to talk over the REV A system is Qchat.

listen to the conference calls. they say QCHAt. in fact, nextel and sprint will be having their 1q earnings call soon, pay attention to it. (the gateway has to do with dual phones and qchat) .. you should know these things.


this could help you too.. from another message board...

Sprint/Nextel will use VoIP for PTT "

about qchat http://www.qualcomm.com/qis/qchat/

yes. its called qchat made by qualcomm and paul saleh said that the latency right now(when they tested it) was around 1.5 seconds and they hope to get it around the sub second level by when ev-do rev a will be launched.

ev-do rev a will be launched in 2006-2...
(continues)

so in other words you can not find any thing from sprint that directly says qchat.

thank you for your answer.

you cant read can you? read that whole post!! it mentions voip, then it mentions QChat. LOOK!

stevelvl: I think that's the first post I've seen you type that didn't have any misspelled words. Anyways, back to the argument.....

about qchat... http://www.qualcomm.com/qis/qchat/

fyi, it will happen.

hunh according to that qchat has "QChat handset and server software are designed to be tightly integrated with BREW® based CDMA handsets and 3G CDMA network infrastructure"

wow i quess sprint will start useing brew then?

sprint doesn't use brew. verizon does. boy they wish they could get qchat. sprint however has spenr a lot of money developeing the ready link independently of q-chat. ready link will have less then a second of latency with ev-do there is absolutely no reason to switch to qchat.

i will ask you this. why would sprint want to switch to qchat?

sprint/nextel will have qchat. becuase qchat is faster then their push to talk solution.

q-chat on ev-do is fast then what sprint offeres ptt over 1xtrr that is true.

but sprint rl on ev-do is just as good as q-chat. but you do not work for sprint nor do you know any thing about ready link.

sprint wont even have RL on ev-do.

by the way this is for you too...

The iDEN technology should bring at least one major asset to Sprint Nextel. One area where iDEN excels is push-to-talk, the "walkie-talkie" service that Nextel pioneered to great success and which other operators, including Sprint, have begun to offer on other types of networks. The companies plan to migrate Nextel's push-to-talk services to Sprint's next-generation EV-DO network. They are likely to retain an edge over other mobile operators because of QChat, the CDMA push-to-talk technology Nextel developed with Qualcomm Inc., Egan said. That technology seems to be better than what other operators a...

i never said that motorola and sprint has a good relationship, but in order to do dual phones and the gateway they would need to be motorola. (you need to listen to the conference calls too, becuase they mentioned it)

Yes, those mysterious conference calls of yours.

thats right. you can call them yourself, i belive. they also mentioned it during the Q&A session during the nextel/sprint merger announcment.

nextel18 said:

Sure they did.

of course they did. obviously you didnt pay attention, however, i did. you are just an immature person, who doesnt belive anything, becuase you dont know anything. its a shame, i feel bad for you. watch in 2007-2008 sprint will roll out REV A then Qchat. then in 2007 half of nextel's towers will be on the CDMA network. then, my opinion, WIMAX will be out in the metropolitan cities for sprint/nextel.

I think this whole thread is ridiculous. You all pretend to be so "informed" when the reality is that lots of what is said is based on some level of facts. BUT ... the truly inside information has not been shared with any sources that anyone of us are remotely close to. Not to mention the fact that technology changes so rapidly that Sprint/Nextel don't even truly know what will be happening in 2007/2008. I sit here and sometimes laugh out-loud at how you guys state these things as facts. None of you are that much smarter, or that much more informed, you all just pretend to be. My connections are in as high a place, and I read as much as any of you, and I venture to say that I make a lot more money in this industry than the majority of ...

i am just taking what the execs say from the merger announcment and from conference calls.

nextel18 said:

and then you add your own fanciful information to it

for example in the press release they talk about adding voip with ev-do and make up the story about it being q-chat

its qchat, my friend. just watch in the 2007/2008 time frame.

so according to you sprint already has q-chat?

sprint has a phone that will be comeing out in not too long it is the sanyo 9000 the sanyo 9000 is ev-do and has voip ptt it will be a ready link. from what you say this is q-chat.

sprint will have voip ptt on ev-do before sprint and nextel merdge. so it will obviously not be q-chat because nextel has exclusive rights to q-chat.

why would sprint spend millions developeing voip just to then abandon it as well as all of its customers useing it so they can move to q-chat?

this makes no since.

let us try this again, my friend. as of right now, nextel has exclusive rights to qchat, however, since this is a merger and that when this merger will be CLOSED qchat will become sprint's as well as nextel's. until the fcc/doj/ftc accepts the change in control then qchat belongs to nextel, but if they OK that control then qchat will belong to both companies.

i dont know if you relize but qchat is voip too.
