Well, seeing as how Rich just explained Moto is working on CDMA Qchat and iDEN PTT interoperability...why is it so infeasible?

actually much i actually discussed qchat.

What the hell are you talking about? A)I was talking to Nextech, and B)Why are you even speaking? Everything that comes out of your yap is incoherent.

you are quite a moron much. i said that i discussed qchat not rich.

Guys, to put it simple...I don't see nextel joining or merging with any other carrier with the PTT. As you may know alltel, verizon , sprint and other carriers are currently using this feature and it isn't going to be what it is with nextel. Nextel will always be the leader in this field.

They'd better be...PTT is the ONLY appealing feature Nextel's cornered.

As a data guy I have to disagree. No other carrier offers the GPS, J2ME, bar code scanning, mobile credit card swiping and the best Blackberry solutions that Nextel does.

True. And you data/corporate guys are all very discerning users. But the rest of the pukes all yell one think when you say "Nextel" to them...PTT!

I just wish Nextel would develop a decent web browser... they're so behind.
😢

What do you find wrong with the Nextel wap browser? I f you want a true HTML browser pick up a Blackberry.

Why can't all color screen nextels have a true WAP browser?

Every other cell phone on the market with a color screen seems to be able to accomplish this.

Yes, the reason I bought a Nextel was for PTT, but I didn't expect them to be so behind the times with everything else. It's my fault for not researching it enough, I know, but come on... text only browsing is for old Nokias 😛

All Nextel phones do support WAP browsing.

don't see it happening. What would be the advantage for Nextel? They won't do it unless there's a compelling WIIFM. Not saying the technology couldn't do it. Throw money at a technology issue, and you can make it work.

Nextel is already considering what I've been talking about. If they go CDMA soon and institute Qchat, wouldn't you consider that an advantage to their business?

Nope. If, and when, Nextel goes CDMA for their voice it would make sense to play nice with PTT competitors. In the world of the present, which is where this thread started, it makes no sense for Nextel to give Sprint the HUGE advantage that Sprints PTT product would gain from being able to PTT with the 13 million + Nextel customers. So the idea that Nextel and Sprint are days or even months away from allowing cross platform (iDEN/CDMA) PTT is what I'm saying makes no sense. Nextel would rather see Sprint's PTT product continue to wither on the vine that give it any support by cooperating with Sprint. Same goes for VZW's PTT product.

yea macman i agree with you. much doesnt know many things about nextel its quite sad. but macman i agree with you 100 percent.

well i think the purpose of making the iden/cdma ptt is not for domestic use meaning in the united states i think it just has to do with internationally like global direct connect. i could be wrong but that is my sense out of what nextel did with qchat and qualcomm and i think another thing is to stop other united states carriers from gettin the qchat, which i heard is quite similiar to nextel's direct connect. mac whats your take?

mac if you were nextel what would be your stradegy in doing the qchat and doing a corss platform of cdma/iden push to talk?

Those are actually some great points you make. But do you se...
