    it is my understanding that the Sanyo 5400 and 7200s exist in large
    numbers and are ready for launch. If this is the case WHY is Gary
    Forsee waiting? Sanyo is traditionally his best performer as far as
    handset go, supply side is taken care of as these are logical
    deveolpments on existing handsets so inventory as far as add ons is
    there. His business customers would JUMP at both of those handsets (the
    7200 because unless Sprint is really f*^ked up it will math closely the
    4900 price point). Is he waiting for LG to offer a F&^ked up product to
    scare his customer away again, how about Samsung to deliver a half baked
    product that locks up and reboots after the call (if your lucky, which
    isn't fixed with that POS N400)

    Re: Sprint considers multiple push-to-talk products...WHY???

    neither of these phones are mass produced or passed testing. As soon as
    that is done and the billing is coded in, you will see them in stores.

    They're also having some troubles with the Vision network...and the
    massive stress PTT is gonna add to it. It was supposed to launch in
    September, but that certainly didn't happen. I've played with the 5400
    its very nice, very solid...7200 is just a rubber 4900...but the
    service and sound quality between the two works nicely (when there are
    maybe 30 people across the US using it) and they want to keep it that
    way for when the real launch is.
