Sanyo 5600 and Power Vision?
Doubt it. Initial rollout features two phones with more to follow in next couple months...
...
isnt it basically the same as the 5600? what exactly is the main diff between the two?
...
Thanks, but you think that alone will make it support power vision?
...
Depends on how its broadcast. If its sent in low res mode, the images would seem de-pixelated on the 9000...
...
the 9000 straight out seems like its going to blow any other phone out of the water 🤣 (I'm definitelly going to do OT) so I can afford it! That baby has to be MINE! lol I hardly ever use my bluetooth anymore anyways. and the camera quality seems to be way better.
...
The power vision thing is sprint's way of dumbing down the trerm EV-DO thus the 5600 not supporting EV-DO will not support the Power Vision package, only the phones with EV-DO will.
...
The 9000 also has a larger internal memory, access to the sprint music store, as well fixing all the low-light camera problems the 5600 had. Not only that, but all reports indicate higher quality sound on it. It also has advanced voice recognition, voice sms text messaging, and several other features the are not included with the 5600.
...
The 5600 is a 3G phone and the 9000 is an EV-DO phone. Now you can sign up for Power Vision Plans, you just won't have the EV-DO experience. The new Vision plans are meant to be more cost effective. I hope that helps!

Power vision appears to require EV-DO in your phone. Both the Samsung A940 and the Sanyon 9000 support it, and are the first (Sprint) phones with EV-DO.
For me, the $20 difference to the Samsung gets you a 2MP camera and full voice activation/dicatation...someone also posted the Samsung comes with headphones...
Of course, YMMV, and the bigger/better screen on the Sanyo is a serious temptation..

I have the samsung A940 and I don't know what EV-DO is. Could you please explain it?

EV-DO= Evolution-Data Only (or Optimized)
Basically a newer data technology for your phone that enables you to transmit downstream at about 300-500 kilobits/sec with a burst rate of 2.4 megabits/sec (I was able to get 1.6 a few times). In comparison, DSL is on average 1.5 megabits/sec and cable is 3 megabits/sec. The older vision phones, such as the 5600, use 1xRTT for data and have a maximum connection of 144 kilobits/sec and an average 50-70 kilobits/sec.
The new EV-DO system is backwards compatible with the current 1xRTT, but give no speed boosts to such devices. EV-DO enables music and video to stream at a much better bitrate. It's a night and day comparison watching a live channel on a 5600 vs the 9000 or 940.
Hope this helps!

Kbps=Kilobits/sec.
KBps=KiloBytes/sec.
By convention. Usually...you will see throughput quotes in terms of kilobits becuase it results in a higher number. This is becuase it counts the error correction and overhead as bandwidth, where KBps generally doesn't.
This is why you can get a cable connection of 3Mbps, and your computer will report a transfer rate of ~200KBps. Strictly speaking, 3Mbps should be ~ 375KBps (3,000,000/😎, but there is overhead and so on. A lot does depend on your OS, network card, and drivers, too.
Probably more than anyone wanted to know....but there ya go...
