Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / August 2003New Nextel Phones?
Does anyone know if Nextel plans to come out with a smaller phone that the i90? Verizon has a V60 that it is going to use for it's PPT. I hope Nextel comes out with something similar. They are coming out with an i730 that is supposed to be the i90 replacement. Nothing special; no bluetooth and small color screen. Has GPS and JAVA - knowing nextel, they will screw us on the price..... > Does anyone know if Nextel plans to come out with a smaller phone that the > i90?

Verizon's rates for PTT don't compete with Nextel's rates. > from the new model i just saw today from verizon, nextel is going to be > hurting a little here soon,v60p is as good as anything nextel has, plus [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > [posted via phonescoop.com - free web access to the alt.cellular groups] Maybe Mitch works for Verizon? The biggest problem Verizon will encounter is the established base of Nextel PTT users - especially in the blue-collar markets. These guys all talk to each other, and you won't see them switch to a flimsy Verizon phone just to get overpriced PTT with a 3 second call setup time. BTW, I sell BOTH Verizon and Nextel.

Even if there was a 3 second delay, people would still choose a better, by far cellular service than something that connects quicker. Nextel is only good for ripping people off anyway!!!

Does your bitter little world have any other interest in there other than publishing non-interesting Nextel hating messages? Go to Verizion. Run. Fly like the wind and be happy. You are boring everyone. Enjoy the new Verizon PTT and be happy with it. rates are free unlimited group calling,unlimited one-to-one push to talk,unlimited night and weekend minutes,1000 national mobile to mobile minutes,and coverage area 100 times as large as nextel will ever have.even in areas that nextel doesnt have simple cell service, that is why there will be lots of changing,so they dont have to carry 2 phones around all of the time,like they do know.

I have a v60 for Cingular, personal mobile phone, and I really like the size. It is small, compact, but large enough to operate with ease. The construction of the unit is great! Also, the battery life seems to be much better then my i90. I long for the day when the perfect phone, for me, is released. 1. Bluetooth 2. Color screen. 3. Iden & GSM support 4. PPT 5. GPS. 6. Smallin size 7. Long Battery life 8. etc.etc.etc.etc. Wow... he must work for verizon... Or maybe not, because he knows that the ptt will only work on Verizon owned, digital coverage, which alot smaller than people realize, due to roaming. Verizon ptt is simply put, a ip based speed dial. Who wants to wait 3 - 10 seconds. If they want to put a speed dial button on the side of a phone and call it ptt, any people stupid enough to leave Nextel for that reason, is doing Nextel a favor. IMHO. I'm just glad it's out so hopefully some of these Nextel haters will stop preaching how the VZ PTT is going to save the world. I even hope it does well so Nextel will lower their prices. |
