How do you feel about Qchat?
I understand that it was a real pain to setup and maintenance, but do you think from a buisiness standpoint this was a bad idea to get rid of this?

I think it is easier to fix the Powersource phone issues in future models than it is to make QChat or any other VOIP PTT system a contender
