REAL SOON NOW

Okay, would someone please explain to me what the attraction is for PTT?
What am I missing?

Is it just like a walkie-talkie, where conversation is pure simplex
(only one person can talk at a time, and you have to be pushing the
button in order to transmit)? If so -- why are folks interested in
this? Is it nostalgia for the days you were 12 years old and a
walkie-talkie seemed really cool? Does it come with a pack of Bazooka
bubble gum?

Sprint is supposed to have full duplex on their PTT.

a time.

It seems by Nextel's experience, that PTT is pretty much good only for
business apps. keeping in immediate touch with employees. Do you want
your sweet talk to your wife or girlfriend being heard within 15-20 feet
using PTT?

It is certainly designed for business- I think everybody tends to forget
that. Although my wife and I use it all of the time- and not in
speakerphone mode (another misconception).

No, it'll come with a rate plan that costs an extra $20/month, and so it
has definite attraction for Sprint, desparate as it is for additional
revenue since SprintPCS has NEVER made a profit.

If that were true, then there would be no reaosn to have PTT. Sprint
has that development *now* on some of their phones. It's called
"speakerphone."

Obviously better than you're hearing. You got a url, go for it.
Otherwise I'm through with this thread.


Which issue. Nextel and Verizon charge $20/month extra. Sprint press
releases have said it'll be "competitively priced" which translate to
same premium.

I hope you're not claiming that SprintPCS has EVER made a profit.

NONSENSE. You're happy to put out your SPIN until you're called on it, and then
just like Vargas you retreat behind "confidentiallity". You happily release
confidential information on PRLs.

PTT will add $20/month to a Sprint phone bill. Or will it be a cost recovery
fee instead??
