Re: What about Bluetooth Object Push?
The Samsung A900, A940, and A960 on Sprint feature working OBEX and FTP, and you can send pictures to and from these handsets. It is likely that the reviewers didn't try sending a photo from a stored location, instead of 'in camera'.
Faraday?
That's a terrible name for a phone! Faraday? What does it do, interrupt all RF around it?
anyhow: nice specs except, why all the effort with no highspeed data: UMTS?
Re: The Blade!
GSM technically uses a higher bitrate vocoder, and so in uncrowded areas with good signal, it can TECHnically sound better, but of course that all depends on the sound hardware in your handset. CDMA in practice usually does sound better because although it has a lower bitrate vocoder, it doesn't degrade nearly as much with distance from tower.
Re: No analog???
Not only do no EV-DO phones on Sprint or Verizon have no analog, but if you look at Montana, for example, Sprint is now able to broadcast their native signal on both the former Qwest sites (cities) and on WW/Alltel 800mhz CDMA for a good percentage of that state.
Re: Speakerphone
Well, Sprint's A840 has a speakerphone. I would be extremely surprised if Verizon wanted it removed. Likely the only differences will be that the Verizon model lacks AMPS support and a universal charging port. (A670 vs. A680)
Re: I am torn between two phones....
Wish Hat were here to settle this.
1xrtt rel 0 runs at sustained 144K with peaks of 153. In practice, you usually will not attain this level. 1xrtt rel A is deployed in a lot of areas; it is not advertised because its mainly used as replacement or buildout equipment, since Qualcomm no longer makes rel 0 equip. Runs at 230K with peaks of 307. In our area, regular testing with a tethered device ...
Re: Sanyo and Sprint
I dunno about that last guy from Seattle, but that's where I'm located, and I can say Sprint and Verizon have almost equal coverage here. Verizon still works better in some subfloor areas (parking garages) but on the whole, Sprint gets a LOT less blocked and dropped calls, because Verizon's network is way over capacity here. I've been a Sprint customer for many years, and I know they're expanding their network while Verizon is neglecting our area ...
