in other words........

motorola finally loses their patent and other cell phone manufactures can finally tap into the IDEN network.....
No patents have been "lost".

New CDMA phones with the new PTT feature won't work on iDEN at all, but rather a new CDMA-based PTT network, that will be interoperable with the PTT part of the old iDEN network until iDEN is phased out.

no.... only sprint can ptt nextel. you need a fast enough network and thats what sprint has. cingular cant because well look at thier coverage and its not as fast. verizon technically could but doubt they would because sprint wouldnt let it happen. an...

That is not true at all. They are actually talking about Qchat, which was developed by Qualcomm, Motorola and Nextel. Sprint now has exclusivity to that so no one else in this country can use Qchat.
