New VZW phones to come out

Cool new phones. Curious if some of the new ones will be dual band only.

I didn't know, thanks! Verizon's PTT is like Nextel's DC huh? Is this how they are marketing it?

LOL

 

They aren't marketing it like anything it's not even been made official yet... and I will say it's not one of the "new" things on June 1st...

 

In addition to the v60p (for those interested in a slow walkie-talkie), a lot of people are also highly anticipating the Samsung a610 and LG vx6000 (both have built-in cameras). The SE T606 will the first color candy-bar phone for Verizon and with an internal intenna (and it offers a camera attachment) -- this phone will also be very feature rich.

LG has done very well with it's lineup of phones for Verizon and so I am looking forward to getting the LG vx6000. Users on HoFo are reporting that if all goes well, Verizon just may release that phone hopefully in June -- but it could be August or September if testing issues arise.

Anyways, I'm very interested in a solid phone with camera capabilities not just because it's a gimmick but I have real practical uses for it.

I think Verizon knows that there is a lot of pressure on them to pump out the LG vx6000 asap this summer to compete with Sprint, AT&T and T-mobile's lineup of color camera phones.

Yeah there is nothing spectacular about Kyocera's lineup -- at least it adds some more choices to the current lineup of bland candy-bar phones.

 

Do you know if Cingular will have Push to Talk soon, and if so what phones will be required to use that feature ?

Thanks in advance for your reply !

Ah, the delicate balance between pleasing customers and offering something that competes with other companies and releasing quality phones.

Will the vx6000 be a great phone or the next T720...hopefully the former!

 

Cingular have no plans for PTT as far as I know.

 

Do any of the GSM/TDMA carriers have plans for this? I think they are all too busy spending time and money on their conversions, with the exception of T-Mobile, which has no need to do conversions ,but they could stand to build out their coverage first before focusing on something like PTT, IMO.

I have only heard talk about PTT with regards to Verizon, and to a much lesser extent, Sprint.

 

I feel that only we need Dual-Band, Tri-mode phones only coming out, no matter how much Digital any CDMA or TDMA company has, and I don't get the whole camera phone thing, but, ok. I use my phone for talking, text messaging, and a datebook...that's about it.

WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT.
