Why is Sprint only launching it in select markets? On Sprint's websid
te I put in Nextel32708's Zip code of 32708 the qChat phones showed up but with my Zip code they didn't. Even in some markets where Sprint has rolled out Rev. A they are waiting to release qChat? What is the reason for not launching it wherever Rev. A is available?

To be honest I really don;t know why it is only some markets.

It looks like they are available in my market when I put in my zip code. The downside is you can't place an order online (since there isn't a place order select button) for the devices:

Call 1-800-SPRINT-1, or find a Sprint Store (Availability of this phone is limited, so please call ahead.)

I like the look of both of those new models.

I got the Sanyo 700 today... it works great!

Activating the phone was a bit of a pain... it took the rep a good hour to find someone who could explain to her how to activate the phone. After that, everything worked just fine.

Great do you think you could make a thread when you get a chance and make a good review?

they're only selling them in stores because they want to make sure that you have the proper coverage in your area to handle the QChat application

RadioFoneGuy · 06-26-2008, 10:27 PM

Qchat needs REV A to work maybe their waiting till all the EVDO areas are up to REV A.

I know alot to the IPCS area im in is still 1X and some REV 0.

I wonder if the phones will go to IPCS areas since IPCS want Sprint to cease owning and operating the Nextel network

RadioFoneGuy · 06-26-2008, 10:41 PM

I dont know I think I prefere the rugged Motos versus the more business class Samsungs.

If you look at a Qchat phone then click coverage it shows were you can use the phone, looks like more metro areas for now and no IPCS.

Eric47 · 06-26-2008, 10:44 PM

this just seems like wasted resources...PTT is largely overlooked at this point.

SmArTeStChIlD421 · 06-27-2008, 5:26 PM

this is a possibility.......considering that Sprint still has some areas that are only in 1X. which is a disappointment i'll admit but it's better than releasing now and having customers calling in and asking why the Direct Connect isn't working
