Sprint hasnt lauched yet. I heard the 7th is do or die day.

I finally have a pair in hand for testing. Played with them for a few minutes this morning, and I have to say they work much better than all the rumors and early reports. Setup time was on about 3 seconds at the most, while you are setup it was nearly instant. The time between you spekaing and it coming out the other end is interesting. Takes about 5 seconds from you saying a word for it to come out the other end, no big deal, just interesting. Voice quality was very good. Actually it was better than Nextels, but I always thought that was bad. I am an old school radio buff, so I have high expectations.

5 second latency when you're what? 3 feet apart?
Totally unacceptable as compared to under 1 second for Nextel.

Then again 5 seconds per your estimate may equal Verizons PTT 12 second
latency.

Nextel is about 1 1/2 seconds.... IF your in the same market, it's 5-7
seconds if you are different switches. Sprint is right in line because the
way theirs is set up all PTT calls are IP calls, and all go through the
vision network, so it'll be 5 seconds whether you're across the room or
across the country.

Correction, the first transmission was about 5 seconds, the subsequent ones
in the same call setup were very quick possibly only a second in most cases.

Call setup was quicker the more I played too.

The variation has eveything to do with how busy the site you are on is with
data calls and other RL calls. Its all IP.

And it wouldn't matter if I were 3 feet apart or down the block it still has
to go though the network, silly.

Now if you were in different markets and there was a delay variation, then
that is a concern.

I was actually suprised, I think it works better then the Nextels I used for
5 years and the voice clarity is better.

Nice try. Pretend that network traffic will have nothing to do with latency. 5
seconds now with no one but one demo = lots longer with thousands using it.

and you're a Sprint employee so you're totally objective?

DSL GURU:

You obviously don't know how 1xRTT works, you always have at least a
14.4k channel, suprise, suprise the same as you get for your 13k voice
call, and 1x phones use EVRC so you only need about 8k for the voice on
PTT. Latency has no increase once you are connected because you are
assigned that walsh code.

You really should read some more before you open your hole.

No, my paycheck does not come from Sprint.
