    Verizon's PTT is not superior to Nextel's, and they will run into
    problems with customers who are used to Nextels speed. For all you
    schmucks talking about camera phones, the i95 can take the T720's camera
    and plug into the bottom of it. Then you can take the pics to your home
    computer, spruce them up and send them via email. Camera phones are not
    how business gets done, which is why Nextel doesn't push them. they are
    a FAD. Service is what it's all about.

    Anyone who thinks camera phones are not worth it is an idiot. In selling
    unique properties, used car brokering, and land, I have a great need for
    a camera phone that I can take a picture of whatever it is I'm trying to
    broker, and either get the client out to where I am based on the
    picture, or have them tell me 'buy it' right then and there. THAT IS how
    business gets done. And if it ain't DONE you don't get PAID. I'll take a
    commission over a lack of one any day. Nextel needs to get their act
    together and get a camera phone.

    And there it is in a nutsack. Whether pic phones are fads or here
    forever, they still have nothing to do with "How business get's
    done". Althought I could possibly see a use in realestate or
    something. Thought the pictures will have to get a lot better than
    they are now.

    If you need to take pictures of property, then buy a real digital
    camera. I hate lousy pictures. The phones are not yet up to snuff for
    that! When the quality gets better then you can talk. It just isn't
    there yet.

    WWII technology? Being able to talk to someone nationwide, or at least
    where there is coverage, on a 2 way radio is hardly ancient. Maybe if you
    took your head out of your ass, you would see how many people are using
    Nextel nowadays. I see them every where. And no, not just Bob the
    contractor either.
