Enjoy it while you can. Nextel knows its days as PTT market leader are
numbered, which is why it chooses to compete by lawsuit, since it can't
compete by network coverage or quality. Whether it takes a week, a month,
six months or two years, Nextel will eventually be reduced to the T-Mobile
of PTT.

Re: NexTel's days numbered
'tis true. But I dont think Nextel's network is going to shrink. And now
with Boost Mobile, there are two companies out there to build out the Nextel
network...

Re: NexTel's days numbered
Your Crazy....
NexTel continues to improve their coverage area. When I was in the Verizon
store a couple of days ago the majority of the customers there were either
upgrading their plans ( not to the PTT -- just more regular minutes) or
signing new contracts with regular cell service. I asked them why they were
not going with the new PTT. There response to me without a word of lie
was -- NEXTEL HAS A BETTER PTT SYSTEM. I like to refer to them as INFORMED
WELL EDUCATED CUSTOMERS. People are not going to leave a company that
provides near instant contact for a PUSH AND WAIT TO TALK SYSTEM.
There is no real delay in the NexTel System. I was in New Mexico and
Arizona three weeks ago and made many PTT calls back to the EAST COAST. As
soon as I keyed up the radio it went through and I got a response back
almost instantly from the other party. Now that is a case of "CAN YOU HEAR
ME NOW!"
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK NEXTEL

Re: NexTel's days numbered
You think so? Nextel is already one of the smaller providers,
nationally, and that's WITH having been the ONLY PTT provider in the
United States. You don't think that Nextel users will leave over time,
now that there's the option, for the first time, of going to another PTT
provider, especially one that has a native digital network that's 20
times larger than Nextel's? Nextel will have no choice but to compete on
price, which is unfortunately what starts a company's downward spiral.

Re: NexTel's days numbered
Remember though, that only Nextel customers were able to have PTT. That
leaves about 60-70 million customers on the other carriers who haven't
felt the need to have PTT, even though Nextel could have provided it for
the asking. Once there are options other than Nextel, the monopoly is
gone. Ands it's gone to much bigger digital networks. So which carrier
do you think will lose?

The reviews are in, verizon PTT is not as good as nextel's service,
however in many areas, Verizons coverage is better than Nextels.
Nextel, however, unlike SprintPCS is profitable and therefore likely to
hang around a while.

Well thats not whats happening. Verizon is not giving away PTT to
attract customers (at least not yet). PTT is going to cost you $20/month
extra from Verizon.

Re: NexTel's days numbered
Ah the coverage MYTH again. MitchellVEALOT..... can Nexel and vzn not
both provide service? Does it have to one or the other? Get off your
vealot thrown and open your eyes. Your rumors and BS anit gonna fly
here. If you really want a comparision between the two, its not just
about ptt, Nextel kicks zn's ass without that too. Nextel's coverage is
just getting better and better. Only a vealot like you cannot see into
the past for a reason why vzn,airtouch,gte,bell atlatic,nynex, and all
the others in the fats cats wake have a head start in coverage. Its a
young company vers the old slow, stuck in their own way, political fat
cats. All digital vrs a stung together digital 1900 or 800 or amps
system.... hmmm
Again its not a win lose situation (unless your a vealot) its the fact
Nextel kicks vzns ass in most areas of providing service to their
customers, Nextel happy customers aint going anywhere. Cool your vealot
jets, simmer down you make yourself look stupid with all your vealoting
randon rumors and BS.

Re: NexTel's days numbered
phillipe, the coverage thing is a big myth anyways, but now that vzn's
ptt has finally come out and has been proven to suck the vealots are
back on the coverage myth bandwagon, cuz they got nothing else. Nextel
all digital to vzn's digital service? Enough for most of us to keep us
happy and enjoying our great nextel service where ever we happen to go.

Re: NexTel's days numbered
Mitchell NO VEALOT WE DONT. Grow up, the vzn cheerleading session for
you is OVER. Your BS rumors and dreams dont fly here. Grow up and take
the vzn company line back to the store where it may sway some unknowing
potential customers to join with the borg. Coverage myth's, ptt
excuses, and other whiney vzn excuses stop cuz your now pointed out for
the vealot you are. Sounds like your nervous that Nextel continues to
get better and better and is as good as if not better than vzn
now....step aside fat cats are going to be taught a lesson on how
wirless should be done. No more vealot rumors.... grow up
