hey do you still use both att and vzw or do you just use one?

I thought you used both companies

I did; but due to some crap that happened, and my wife getting pissed of at VZW, I went fully to at&t. I kinda wish Id've stuck it out for the i760, but life happens.

yeah...tough to battle with the wifey sometimes, lol

True; but now, I have the Treo 750 as my main line, which is way better than the 700wx any day of the week.

yeah that is a cool phone. I like that 750 a lot! But Im a mac user, so the windows thing doesnt really vibe with me very well.

Then why don't you get an iPhone?

because you know as well as I do all of the limitations of the iphone. I love the iphone for its intuitiveness, but functionally, the lack of a keyboard is deal breaker for me.

I can't argue with that. I don't like Apple period.

Wasn't Nextel formed in the late 90's?

So that would be texting in 1995?

🤣

Actually:

From Wikipedia:

NEXTEL was founded as FleetCall in 1987 by Morgan E. O' Brien, a Washington, DC, communications attorney, and changed its name to Nextel Communications in 1993.

Its called sarcasm. Obviously text messaging wasn't around in 1975. My point is that Nextel's texting is archaic.

yes, we know. that's why we were being sarcastic.

Yes, but sprint's voice only being 1900mhz limits it's voice. Sprint does not seem to work well in buildings or in manufacturing facilities compared to Nextel or AT&T. Their voice not being good imo will probably make them my last choice when they force us off of IDEN.

I used to think that too, but I have discovered that my Powersource phone will hold a signal on the phone side BETTER even than the DC side.

I can only speak from my personal experience. It may be just where I live but in buildings where I work the only phones that get signal are Nextel or AT&T, and the Nextel being the better of the 2 nobody with sprint or vzw can make a ...

I just don't like cdma. Had it with vzw and got fed up with static on calls and dropped calls. People never have trouble understanding me on my Nextel. Another concern of mine is Sprint's future as they keep losing huge amounts of money. I've never been impressed with them and it doesn't seem like they are in good shape. Will they survive?

Sprint definitely has a future, since over 90% of businesses use them, even factoring in churn. Many companies could not survive without Nextel Direct Connect. Most people don't understand that or even why.

I like CDMA, although I've never thought the voice quality rivaled time-based digital cellular. But it does have it's advantages.

If Sprint PCS doesn't work well in your area, then it wouldn't be your personal best choice. Where I live, it outshines everything else, especially now that they have acquired old Nextel sites and boosted their own signal.

Whatever you decide, B.O.L.!

Yes 90% of businesses do use sprint but I guarantee you 90% of that 90% are on the IDEN network. If IDEN goes away sprint will struggle due to what you said about DC. Nextel was only beginning to scratch the surface of what IDEN could have been. I will stay until IDEN absolutely will not work in my area. Sprint has lost huge amounts of money this year. If IDEN goes like the FCC and they are wanting so do they!!!!!!

Good luck. I hope they do keep it on a while longer. How good QChat is remains to be seen, though I'm optimistic that if any company can make it work, Nextel can.

The FCC can be a royal pain sometimes, although I do understand their reasoning behind the interference iss...
