Nextel or Verizon?????

Hey everyone I have a sort of a weird question here it goes. I currently use both services here in chicago area, Nextel at work and the family has Verizon, soon though I have to choose one or the other, I currently have an i860 with Nextel and a v710 with Verizon. What do you guys think would be the better to go with if you had to choose between the 2? Kind of hard choice as I do love the direct connect from Nextel but definitly like the service reliability of Verizon!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Honestly....verizon though does have the Push To Talk also, and in my opnion, has alot broader coverage than Nextel.
clariver said:Brilliantly argued. The question was about a choice between Verizon and Nextel. We're not worried about Cingular.
but cingular has nat wide coverage and you say you need it both for work and at home well cingular has better coverage than both nextel and verizon
Thank you all
P.S. does anyone know if Nextel is putting more towers up here in Chicago this year? or is there focus elsewhere?
That is the funniest thing that I have ever heard.
Cingular better than Nextel...I'll agree.
Cingular better than Verizon...I don't think so.
Honestly go with Sprint. But if you must choose between the two...definately Verizon.
scorpiogirl said:IF Verizon works better where he lives and works (which it doesn't...Nextel works just as well). IF Verizon offers better PTT, which he needs (and we both know how that works out).
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

why?
nextel is a little different than your traditional wireless companies...
yes, they may not have the most coverage nationwide, but they are growing and by the way in the process of merging w/Sprint.
yes, they my not have the most superior quality
of signal (Cingular & T-Mobile, who use GSM and in the future UTMS/W-CDMA presently have the most), but have a excellent, time tested, and dependable (Nextel's iden) system.
and,
yes, they may not have the smallest handsets available, but the trade off in size might be worth it for you.
Nextel has has the industries lowest customer "churn' and the highest customer loyalty. When you become a customer, you will see why...
what does it for me, someone w...

Abandon, in the future perhaps, i mean come on, what do expect iDEN was a great, unique invention that definitely has it's trade secrets, but it is dated. CDMA is superior, but once Nextel's trade secrets are incorporated into Sprint's (Ready Link), it will be interesting to see who will dominate the market, especially with the technology available to all carriers, such as the Kodiak PTT system. www.kodiaknetworks.com

of course cdma is superior, but not when it comes to push to talk. iden will lead in that marketplace for a long time to come. kodiak wont be a big competitor especially since there is a 2-3 seconds latency for the intial call. qchat (which i love) will be a very nice product that will probably dominate the push to talk solutions on the cdma network.
Since when are you in a position to "love" Qchat? And you might want to let Kodiak get up and running on a North American network before you decide to bash the technology. Same old, same old...you would think you had time to meditate upon your approach to this website.

Ah, the same "free thinker" we've all come to love and hate. Still not putting much into your statements, huh? Good...I've missed picking on you.
you missed picking on me? lol.. try going on vacations or something or doing other things with your life so you wont have to "miss" doing something so stupid as what you were doing. (picking on me)

when it comes to debating with you or talking to you there is no point of putting effort into my statments becuase you dont get what i am saying anyway.

I just got back from 6 days in Costa Rica. Does that count, Professor? Keep up the good work. I'll be watching.

i feel sorry for you. âšī¸
Actually it means I came back within the last four days, Einstein. Good detective work. Maybe you'll amount to something more than a kiosk monkey after all.
a kiosk monkey? hahah. your the one who is working at circuit city. lol.. (actually working period.) lol.. i feel bad for you.

Yeah, as an Ops Manager. No need to feel bad for me. 10 years with the company, one step away from my own store. Four days means four days. Get the earwax out.

Has nothing to do with the "superiority" of the CDMA network.
Did you take the time to stop and think about what I might have meant by "superior"?
back to the same old muchdrama it looks like.

I just had to throw out stupids comments while nextel18 was away....
Did you stop to think that maybe that was an honest question? No attack there. In fact, look up some of my previous posts...in them you'll find me complimenting you and MarkF for the accurate information you post in this particular forum.
